Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can occur due to a variety of causes, such sports injuries, accidents, repetitive strain, and age-related conditions. Some common shoulder conditions we treat at University Sports and Spine include:
Dislocated Shoulder
A dislocated shoulder occurs when the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket. This injury requires prompt medical attention and specialized treatment.
Shoulder Bursae
The shoulder bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that provide cushioning for the joint. When the sacs are inflamed or irritated, this can lead to shoulder pain and limited mobility.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, causes stiffness and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It can result from injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions.
Rotator Cuff Injury
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint. When the rotor cuff is injured, you may experience pain, weakness, and reduced shoulder mobility.
Strains, Sprains, and Tendinitis
These are common soft tissue injuries that can occur from overexertion, sudden movements, or repetitive stress. The injuries can cause pain, inflammation, and limited shoulder function.
