Common Shoulder Injuries:

The shoulder is a complex joint susceptible to various injuries. Here are some of the most frequently searched shoulder conditions:

• Rotator cuff tears: This damage to the tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint can cause significant pain and weakness.

• Labral tears: The labrum is a ring of cartilage that cushions the ball-and-socket joint. A tear can result in pain, clicking, and instability.

• Frozen shoulder: Also called Adhesive Capsulitis, Frozen Shoulder is an often progressive condition involving pain and stiffness in the shoulder. Trauma or holding the shoulder in place for a longer period of time can lead to this debilitating condition

• Shoulder sprains and strains: Overuse or sudden trauma can stretch or tear ligaments or muscles surrounding the shoulder, leading to pain and limited movement.

 

Don't Ignore Referred Pain from the Neck!

It's important to note that shoulder pain can sometimes be a symptom of another issue. Often, pain originating in the cervical spine (neck) can be referred to the shoulder. This is because nerves traveling from the neck can become irritated by joint stiffness, joint injury, or disc problems.
