The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. This can often lead to several different shoulder problems. Effective pain management can help to effectively identify the problem and offer the best solution for pain relief.
There could be several reasons you are experiencing pain in your shoulder. The most common cause of shoulder pain occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become inflamed or damaged. This condition is called rotator cuff tendinitis. This condition is often caused when the rotator cuff tendons become trapped under the bony area of the shoulder.
The following list contains some other common causes of shoulder pain.
Rotator cuff tears are another common cause of shoulder pain. A torn rotator cuff can occur through trauma or overuse through repetitive movements.
Wear and tear or injury are common reasons you may develop arthritis of the shoulder joint.
Bony growths can develop on your bone as a result of arthritis. These can cause pain as you move your shoulder.
A common injury related to excessive force on the shoulder. The head of the upper arm bone comes out of the shoulder socket on the shoulder blade.
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, a frozen shoulder usually develops after an injury. Through a lack of use and inflammation, adhesions grow between the joint surfaces.
A bad posture can put extra strain on your muscles and tendons.
