Shoulder Pain

Have a shoulder problem?

shoulder pain

Shoulder pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages, often interfering with daily activities and sleep. It may arise from overuse, poor posture, sports injuries, or underlying conditions like rotator cuff tears, arthritis, or nerve irritation.

Because the shoulder is a highly mobile joint, even minor issues can cause discomfort or limit movement. Understanding the source of pain is key, as early evaluation and care can restore function, strength, and long-term comfort.

What can cause shoulder pain?

Here are some common causes of headaches

rotator cuff injury

Tears or strains in rotator cuff tendons cause pain and weakness. This limits arm movement, making tasks like lifting difficult. Early treatment reduces inflammation, restores strength, and prevents further damage.

Impingement

An impingement occurs when tendons or bursae are compressed during movement, causing pain and inflammation. This restricts mobility and worsens over time, requiring targeted care to relieve pressure and restore shoulder function effectively.

instability

This happens when the cartilage between joints wears away, causing bones to rub together, creating pain, stiffness, and swelling.  It can lead to discomfort and restricted back movement.

Arthritis

Arthritis in the shoulder joint causes chronic pain, stiffness, and inflammation. These symptoms can worsen over time, limiting daily activities. Treatment focuses on improving mobility reducing discomfort, and preserving joint function effectively.
