What Could Be Causing Your Shoulder Pain?
Different structures and movement patterns can contribute to shoulder pain. Identifying what may be contributing to your symptoms is an important first step.
Rotator Cuff
Irritation, degeneration, or injury involving the rotator cuff may contribute to pain, weakness, or difficulty lifting and reaching.
Tendons & Bursa
Tendon irritation and inflammation of the bursa may contribute to pain with movement, reaching, or lying on the affected shoulder.
Joint & Cartilage
Changes involving the shoulder joints and cartilage may contribute to stiffness, discomfort, reduced mobility, or loss of function.
Movement & Mechanics
Strength, mobility, posture, previous injury, and movement patterns may influence how the shoulder functions and how stress is distributed.
Different problems can produce similar symptoms, which is why identifying what may be contributing to your shoulder pain is so important.
