Understanding Shoulder Pain

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain:

The shoulder is a complex and highly mobile joint, making it susceptible to various injuries and conditions. Common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons.
  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Stiffness and pain due to thickened shoulder capsule.
  • Shoulder Impingement: Compression of shoulder tendons.
  • Arthritis: Degeneration of shoulder joint cartilage.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sacs) in the shoulder.
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of shoulder tendons due to overuse.
  • Dislocations: When the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket.
