Welcome to this Shoulder Homepage of Dr. Hans J. Poessel, a highly skilled and experienced German Orthopaedic Surgeon practicing in the UAE. Dr. Poessel specializes in the comprehensive management of Subacromial Bursitis, offering easy-to-understand and comprehensive care for patients seeking relief from this condition affecting the shoulder.

Subacromial bursitis is a condition characterized by inflammation and swelling of the subacromial bursa, a small fluid-filled sac located between the rotator cuff tendons and the acromion, a bony prominence of the shoulder blade. This inflammation can cause pain, tenderness, limited range of motion, and discomfort during shoulder movements.

Understanding the impact that subacromial bursitis can have on your daily activities and quality of life, Dr. Poessel is committed to providing personalized treatment options to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore optimal shoulder function.

When you choose Dr. Hans J. Poessel for your subacromial bursitis treatment, you can expect the following comprehensive approach:

1. Accurate Diagnosis: Dr. Poessel begins by conducting a thorough evaluation, including a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Diagnostic imaging tests, such as X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI scans, may be utilized to confirm the diagnosis, assess the extent of inflammation, and rule out other underlying conditions.

2. Non-Surgical Treatments: As an initial approach, Dr. Poessel explores conservative treatment options for subacromial bursitis. These may include rest, activity modification, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. Physical therapy may focus on exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles, improve shoulder stability, and reduce pain. In some cases, corticosteroid injections may be recommended to provide temporary relief from inflammation and pain.

3. Surgical Interventions: If conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief or if the condition is severe and affecting your quality of life, Dr. Poessel has extensive expertise in performing surgical interventions for subacromial bursitis. Arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure, may be recommended to remove inflamed tissue, repair any tears in the rotator cuff, or create more space for the tendons to move freely.

4. Rehabilitation and Follow-up Care: Dr. Poessel recognizes the importance of post-treatment rehabilitation in optimizing recovery and restoring shoulder function. He collaborates closely with rehabilitation specialists to develop personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to your specific needs. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress, adjust the rehabilitation plan as necessary, and ensure optimal outcomes.

5. Patient Education and Support: Dr. Poessel prioritizes patient education and ensures that you have a clear understanding of your condition, treatment options, and expected outcomes. He takes the time to answer your questions, provide guidance, and offer ongoing support throughout your treatment and recovery journey.
