Getting to Know AC Joint Sprain
The AC joint, or acromioclavicular joint, is where your collarbone (clavicle) meets the highest point of your shoulder blade (acromion). An AC Joint Sprain is an injury to the ligaments that hold this joint together, often resulting from falls or direct impacts.
Symptoms to be Aware of
- Swelling and tenderness at the top of the shoulder
- Pain when moving the arm across the body or lifting overhead
- A visible bump or bruising over the joint
- Reduced range of motion in the shoulder
