What is Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain is a common complaint that can range from a mild ache to severe discomfort. It can affect your ability to perform everyday activities and significantly impact your range of motion and quality of life, whether it's due to an injury, overuse, or an underlying condition.
Why Does Shoulder Pain Happen?
There are several reasons why you might experience shoulder pain, including:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries - Tears, strains, or inflammation in the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
- Bursitis & Tendonitis - Inflammation of the bursa or tendons can cause sharp pain, especially with movement.
- Joint Dysfunction & Arthritis - Misalignment or degeneration in the shoulder joint can lead to chronic discomfort.
- Repetitive Stress - Overuse or repetitive motions common in sports or certain occupations can wear down the shoulder structures.
- Postural Imbalances - Poor posture can alter the mechanics of the shoulder, leading to strain and pain.
- Referred Pain - Pain originating from other areas, such as the neck or upper back, can also manifest in the shoulder.
