Shoulder Pain

IN CARY, NC

What Is Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain involves discomfort in the muscles, ligaments, or joints surrounding the shoulder. It can result from injuries, overuse, or degenerative conditions, often leading to stiffness and reduced range of motion. Depending on the cause, the pain may worsen with specific movements or persist at rest. Proper diagnosis is essential to address the underlying issue and prevent long-term complications.

What Are the Causes of Shoulder Pain?

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation in the tendons cause pain and weakness.
  • Bursitis: Swelling of the fluid-filled sacs reduces mobility and causes localized pain.
  • Impingement: Pinching of soft tissues in the shoulder leads to sharp pain during movement.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation from osteoarthritis affects the shoulder joint’s range of motion.
  • Overuse: Repetitive motions in sports or work can strain the shoulder muscles and ligaments.
