What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain can result from injury, inflammation, posture problems, or muscular imbalances. It may range from dull aches to sharp, debilitating pain—and often signals that the joint or surrounding tissue needs professional attention.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain:

  • Overuse injuries – Often caused by repetitive motions in sports or work, leading to inflammation in the joint or tendons.
  • Strains & sprains – Result from overstretching or tearing muscles or ligaments.
  • Arthritis – Chronic joint inflammation that affects range of motion and causes stiffness.
  • Frozen shoulder – A painful condition marked by stiffness and restricted movement, often after trauma or immobilization.
  • Rotator cuff injuries – Involve tears or inflammation of the tendons and muscles that stabilize the shoulder.
  • Pinched nerves – Nerve compression in the neck or shoulder region can refer pain down the arm.
  • Fractures – Bone breaks in the shoulder (clavicle, humerus, scapula) from trauma or falls.
  • Muscle imbalances or poor posture – Weak or overactive muscles cause uneven loading on the joint, leading to dysfunction.

🩺 Pro Tip: Don’t ignore shoulder pain—early intervention prevents chronic issues.

Symptoms of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain symptoms vary depending on the cause, but often include:

  • Aching or stabbing pain
  • Shoulder stiffness or “frozen” sensation
  • Limited range of motion
  • Pain that worsens with activity or movement
  • Local tenderness or swelling
  • Referred pain into the neck, upper back, or arm
  • Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm

Persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare professional to prevent further damage.

How Is Shoulder Pain Treated?

Treatment depends on the cause, severity, and your physical goals. In most cases, conservative treatment offers excellent results.

Common Shoulder Pain Treatments:
  • ✅ Physical therapy: Strengthens weak muscles, restores mobility, and improves shoulder mechanics.
  • ✅ Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques to release tight tissues and mobilize stiff joints.
  • ✅ Therapeutic exercise: Prescribed movement patterns to stabilize the joint and prevent reinjury.
  • ✅ Tecar therapy: Help manage pain and swelling during acute flare-ups.
  • ✅ Posture and ergonomic correction: Especially helpful for desk workers.

🛑 Surgical referral may be necessary for complete tears, fractures, or unresponsive cases.
