Understanding Why You Have Shoulder Pain

Do you ever ask yourself, “Why does my shoulder hurt?”

The shoulder is the most open joint in the body, which means it has the most range of motion of any joint in the body. Therefore, the shoulder relies heavily on the soft tissues that support it, including the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can lead the shoulder to have a high incidence of soft tissue injury.

No matter how active you are, you rely on the full range of motion of your shoulders for your daily life. Just getting dressed and bathing yourself requires a surprising amount of shoulder movement, which you probably already know if you have ever suffered shoulder pain or a shoulder injury.

When the shoulder becomes impaired, many issues may arise, and all areas of life can be affected. So, finding and treating the injury is paramount to our overall well-being.

You may have shoulder discomfort for countless reasons, ranging from a sedentary lifestyle to a physical trauma, such as a slip and fall.

Some common conditions that cause shoulder pain include:

Rotator cuff strains and tears
Frozen shoulder / Adhesive capsulitis
Labral tear
Bursitis
Other sprains, strains, or inflammation
Arthritis
New or old dislocation
Shoulder separation (AC joint separation)
Habitual poor posture, movement patterns, or lifting techniques
Untreated or improperly treated old shoulder injury
And more

Improperly moving and lifting items
