Shoulder Pain

Shoulder Pain

The shoulder joint, ball, and socket joint, are the most mobile in the body. It has a wide and versatile range of motion. An injury to the shoulder can hampers your ability to move freely and can also cause severe pain and discomfort.

Shoulder’s range of motion is achieved primarily from the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff is damaged or injured, it may become painful or difficult to lift your arm over your head.

What causes shoulder pain?

The shoulder can be injured by manual labor, lifting heavy things overhead, playing sports, or even by repetitive movement. Certain other conditions like cervical pain, and diabetes leading to Frozen Shoulder also cause pain in the shoulder.

Other common causes of shoulder pain include:

• Arthritis

• Torn Cartilage

• Torn Rotator Cuff

• Swollen Bursa Sacs or Tendons

• Bone Spurs (Bony Projections That Develop Along the Edges of Bones)

• Pinched Nerve in The Neck or Shoulder

• Broken Shoulder or Arm Bone

• Frozen Shoulder

• Dislocated Shoulder

• Injury Due to Overuse or Repetitive Use
