What Causes Shoulder Pain?
The shoulder is the body's most mobile joint, allowing for a wide range of movement. However, this mobility also makes it more susceptible to injury and instability.
Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Frozen shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
- Shoulder bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Shoulder instability
- Labral tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle strains
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Sports-related injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
A thorough assessment is essential to determine the underlying cause of your shoulder pain and guide the most effective treatment plan.
