Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Understanding the potential causes of shoulder pain can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing shoulder problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.
Shoulder pain is often the result of one of a
variety of factors:
Frozen Shoulder
Restricted movement and stiffness cause pain that inhibits everyday activities. Frozen shoulder is also known as adhesive capsulitis.
Shoulder Fracture
Damage to the shoulder bones can restrict movement and cause pain.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons around the shoulder. Injuries to the rotator cuff are more common with age and can have far‒reaching effects on that area of the body.
Shoulder Dislocation
Dislocating the shoulder and shoulder joint can cause severe pain and severely limit your range of motion.
Pinched Nerves
Pinched nerves occur when the vertebrae in your neck compress or you are suffering from a herniated disc.
Shoulder Instability
Repeated trauma like injuries and dislocations can lead to shoulder instability.
