HOW CAN I RELIEVE PAIN FROM AN AC JOINT SEPARATION?

The shoulder joint is formed through the union of 3 bones: the collarbone, the shoulder blade, and the arm bone. An AC joint (Acromioclavicular) separation occurs when the collarbone separates from the shoulder blade, usually due to a fall on the area or from direct trauma (e.g. contact sports).

Typical symptoms include pain and swelling around the joint and limited range of movement.

Bauerfeind's high-quality shoulder braces and supports are designed with medical-grade compression to target the symptoms associated with AC joint separation.

The soft knit delivers the ultimate comfort and has supports embedded to provide an intermittent massage effect for improved circulation. This added support will help stabilise your joint for optimal protection and help you recover with as minimal limitations to everyday activities as possible.

 

MANLY SEA EAGLES PLAYER USES THE OMOTRAIN FOR SHOULDER RECOVERY

Take a look at NRL player Brendan Elliot from Manly Sea Eagles wearing the OmoTrain shoulder brace for extra shoulder support. 

The Omotrain guides and centres the arm in the socket so the shoulder maintains proper natural movement, without impacting your mobility.

The strapping runs across the back so it won't impinge upon the chest area. The OmoTrain can be worn on either the left or right shoulder. Push your personal best like Brendan with Bauerfeind!

    "I have had the Omo train for about three weeks. I tore a rotator cuff tendon about 2 months ago and although I had good range of movement I have weakness and pain particularly at night. I noticed a significant reduction in pain after 2 or 3 days wearing the Omo train. I was expecting it to be a little uncomfortable to sleep but it's not noticeable I have found it was ok to wear for a full day at work. It is always nice to take it off after work, though." - Gwyn.

      HOW TO TREAT PAIN CAUSED BY AC JOINT SEPARATION?

       

      • Rest. Avoid moving your arms in positions that could aggravate it (e.g. overhead reaching).
      • Icing. Apply ice to the swollen and inflamed area for 15 minutes every 4 hours during the first few days until the swelling subsides.
      • Physical therapy. Your physiotherapist may prescribe you with specific stretching and strengthening exercises for your rotator cuff muscles.
      • Anti-inflammatory medicines. Medications may be prescribed by your doctor to ease pain and inflammation.
      • Your doctor or physiotherapist should investigate severe or persistent pain.

      Play it safe: Consult a doctor if you experience unusually intense and persistent tendonitis pain.
