Tendones del hombro inflamados

El desgarramiento e inflamación de los tendones de los músculos del hombro pueden ocurrir al practicar deportes que requieran levantar el brazo por encima de la cabeza repetidamente, como en el tenis, el lanzamiento de pelota, la natación y el levantamiento de pesas. Generalmente el hombro sana si se toma un descanso de las actividades que hayan causado el problema y dolor. Las compresas de hielo intermitentes aplicadas al hombro y los medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos pueden también ayudar a reducir el dolor y la inflamación.
