acromiona

Acromiona, also known as acromioclavicular joint pain, refers to discomfort or pain in the shoulder joint, specifically the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. This joint connects the clavicle (collarbone) to the scapula (shoulder blade). Acromiona can be caused by various factors, including overuse, trauma, or underlying medical conditions such as arthritis or rotator cuff injuries. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and may include imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans to identify the underlying cause.

Treatment options for acromiona vary depending on the severity and cause of the pain. Mild cases may be managed with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with over-the-counter pain relievers. More severe cases may require physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or, in some instances, surgery. Lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms and maintaining a healthy weight, can also help alleviate pain and improve shoulder function. In some cases, acromiona may be a symptom of a more serious condition, and it is important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
