Common Causes of Shoulder Pain We Treat
Shoulder pain can stem from various sources, often related to overuse, injury, or underlying conditions. Some of the most common causes we effectively treat include:
- Tendinitis: Inflammation due to excessive overuse, often from job demands, overhead activity, or sports, exacerbated by poor posture.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Painful loss of motion and tightening, often after immobilization.
- Impingement: Pain when lifting the arm at or above 90 degrees, caused by abnormal movement of the humeral head.
- Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis (“wear and tear”) and rheumatoid arthritis (immune system attack) can cause loss of motion, weakness, and daily task difficulty.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries (Torn Shoulders): Characterized by dull pain deep in the shoulder, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind the back, and disrupted sleep.
