Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is a complex ball and socket joint that allows a wide range of motions, but several problems can occur. If you're having shoulder pain, stiffness, or weakness, it may be interfering with your ability to complete daily tasks that involve lifting and carrying things. Come see us and find out what the cause of your shoulder pain is to start your treatment plan. Some common causes of shoulder pain are:

• Frozen shoulder: limits the range of motion and causes a numb or a 'frozen' feeling
• Rotator cuff tear: is usually the result of an injury and can be extremely painful
• Bursitis: is inflammation of bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints
• A dislocated shoulder: happens when the ball is pushed out of the socket. It usually prohibits you from moving the joint at all.
• Shoulder Impingement: causes pain when the upper part of the shoulder blade rubs uncomfortably against the tendons in the shoulder.
• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis most commonly affects the shoulder. It causes pain and swelling, and limits range of motion.
• Fractures of the clavicle, humerus, or scapula: can cause severe shoulder pain

These are just some of the most common shoulder problems. The shoulder is a complex joint and every patient is different, so the cause of your pain could be unique. Your individual treatment plan will address your needs and help you find relief from shoulder pain.
