Causes of shoulder pain
Shoulder pain can range from mild aches and pains to severe bone-on-bone anguish.
Shoulder pain can have a variety of causes and contributing factors. You might have been in a car accident, pulled a muscle, or have arthritis.
Whatever your level of discomfort, here are some common causes of shoulder pain for which you can seek treatment in Vancouver:
Rotator cuff injuries
Shoulder soreness, arm weakness, difficulties reaching up above the head and behind the back, and sleeping problems are all symptoms of rotator cuff injury.
You might be wondering, “Will a rotator cuff injury heal on its own?” Most of the time, it persists or gets worse. Physiotherapy can help to relieve discomfort from rotator cuff injuries and improve strength without the need for surgery. However, if surgery is required, physiotherapy will be an important part of the recovery process to rehabilitate from rotator cuff surgical repair.
Frozen shoulder
Are you experiencing a painful loss of motion and stiffness of the shoulder joint? You might have a condition known as “frozen shoulder”, causing restrictions in movement. This syndrome can occur if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a long time and your shoulder has been immobile. Many times, it occurs for no obvious reason and can be very painful and debilitating.
Shoulder Impingement
If you lift your arm repeatedly with incorrect shoulder mechanics, you can set yourself up for a condition called shoulder impingement. This is when the head or top of the humerus (upper arm bone) rides up and pushes against the tendons above it. The tendons become inflamed and it is painful to lift your arm. That makes you less likely to move it and more at risk of developing a frozen shoulder. Poor posture is often the cause as it disrupts the centredness of the shoulder joint and the equilibrium of forces around the joint.
Arthritis
The two most frequent kinds of arthritis that affect the shoulder are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both result in pain that inhibits the surrounding muscles, leading to shoulder muscle weakness, and making it difficult to execute daily tasks.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to target the cartilage that protects the joint surfaces. Flare-ups with inflammation and pain characterize this disease.
When the cartilage in the shoulder joint breaks down sufficiently, osteoarthritis occurs. This is mainly due to old age, excessive use with poor alignment and past injury to the rotator cuff. Our physiotherapy center in Vancouver can help you with these problems!
