Common Causes Of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can range from modest aches and pains caused by a strained muscle to severe bone-on-bone friction caused by arthritis. It can also occur from an accident.

Shoulder pain can show up in a variety of ways. For example, you might find you’re in pain when reaching for the top shelf to put away dishes or having trouble sleeping in a comfortable position.

Some of the most common causes of shoulder pain include:

Arthritis

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types of arthritis that affect the shoulder. Both of these conditions cause shoulder muscular weakness and make it difficult to complete typical everyday chores. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the immune system attacks the membranes that surround the shoulder joint.

This condition causes discomfort and inflammation. Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage in the shoulder joint wears down significantly. This is usually a result of age or overuse.

Rotator cuff injuries

Deep shoulder discomfort, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind the back, and difficulty sleeping are all symptoms of rotator cuff injuries, popularly known as “torn shoulders.”

Depending on the severity and circumstances, surgery may be required for this condition. Physiotherapy can often help reduce pain and restore rotator cuff strength without the need for surgery.

Physiotherapy will be an important part of the rehabilitation process if surgery is necessary.

Tendinitis

As a result of a person’s job or physical demands, tendinitis can form in a person’s shoulder joint.

Poor posture contributes to this condition because it disrupts the equilibrium of your shoulders and causes tension and weakness. Since the tendons become inflamed over time, tendinitis results in swelling and severe impingement when you raise your arm.

Impingement

Impingement typically occurs because of abnormal movement and tracking of the humeral head as you lift your arm overhead. Pain typically occurs when lifting your arm at or above 90 degrees.

Frozen shoulder

Are you experiencing a painful loss of motion and a tightness of the shoulder joint? You might have a condition known as “frozen shoulder.” Movement can be restricted with this condition.

This syndrome can occur if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a long time, or if you have been bedridden.

Some ethnic groups are more prone, and women between the ages of 40 and 60 are more likely than men to have this illness.

How Can Beyond Physiotherapy Combat Shoulder Pain?

Physiotherapy is a non-invasive, natural, and comfortable alternative to address shoulder pain. It’s performed without the use of harmful medications. Our physiotherapists have treated a wide range of shoulder pain disorders, with many patients seeing considerable relief and improvement after just a few sessions!

Your physiotherapist will assess several aspects of your overall health, including:

  • Range of motion
  • Strength
  • Coordination
  • Medical history
  • Joint mobility
  • Joint motion mechanics

To aid in the restoration of normal joint movement, relieve soft tissue restrictions, and promote circulation, gentle manual therapy may be included in your treatment plan. Specific strength-building exercises and a proper muscle activation sequence around the shoulder joint may also be included.

Once the source of your discomfort is identified, our Newton, Surrey, Fleetwood, and Langley physiotherapist will be able to build a personalized treatment plan to manage and relieve your shoulder pain.

Physiotherapy will also teach you new ways to increase your strength and avoid future shoulder problems.
