Why do we get shoulder pain?

To effectively treat shoulder pain, it is essential to understand the complexity of the shoulder joint and the common causes of shoulder pain. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion, including circular motion. It consists of the humerus (upper arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the clavicle (collarbone).

The rotator cuff, a group of tendons and muscles, plays a crucial role in stabilising the shoulder joint and facilitating its movement. These tendons can become inflamed or torn, leading to shoulder pain. Other causes of shoulder pain include injuries, arthritis, bursitis, and referred pain from the neck or other parts of the body. Understanding the underlying cause of shoulder pain, including potential issues with the group of muscles in the rotator cuff, is essential for effective treatment.

Common Causes of Shoulder Discomfort

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common cause of shoulder discomfort. It occurs when the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, limiting its range of motion. This condition can be caused by inflammation or the formation of scar tissue in the shoulder joint.

Rotator cuff tears are another common cause of shoulder pain. These tears can occur due to repetitive motions, overuse, or traumatic injuries. The rotator cuff tendons, which connect the muscles to the arm bone, can become damaged or torn, resulting in pain and limited shoulder function.

Issues with the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, which is where the top of the shoulder blade meets the collarbone, can also cause shoulder discomfort. Injuries or arthritis in this joint can lead to pain and limited range of motion.

Why Early Intervention is Crucial

Early intervention is crucial in managing shoulder pain to prevent further complications and improve outcomes. When left untreated, shoulder pain can worsen, leading to a decreased range of motion and severe pain. Stiffness in the shoulder is a common symptom that should not be ignored, as it can indicate a more serious condition such as frozen shoulder. It is important to identify the underlying cause of your shoulder pain early on to determine the most appropriate treatment options.

Prompt intervention can help address the cause of your shoulder pain and prevent it from progressing. By addressing issues with the soft tissues, such as inflammation or tears in the rotator cuff tendons, early treatment can promote healing and restore shoulder function.

Ignoring shoulder pain or delaying treatment can lead to chronic pain, decreased mobility, and potential long-term damage.
