Commonplace Causes of Shoulder Pain
A wide variety of injuries, conditions, and other factors can cause pain in the shoulder. In fact, the cause of shoulder pain does not necessarily have to be located in the shoulder itself. Often, injuries and conditions in other areas of the body – such as the thoracic or cervical spine – can cause pain to radiate into the shoulder.
When the pain that one has in their shoulder is caused by a localized problem, that problem is most often an inflammatory condition. Conditions such as tendonitis, rheumatism, and forms of arthritis fall into this category as does another inflammatory condition, shoulder bursae. This is an inflammation of the bursa – a small sac of fluid that provides a cushion to the structures of the shoulder – that puts pressure on the nerves.
In addition, a number of non-inflammatory conditions can cause pain in the shoulder area. These conditions include:
- Trauma caused by injury
- Sprains: Violent wrenching or pulling of the associated ligaments
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Frozen Shoulder – also known as Adhesive Capsulitis
- Strains caused by muscles and/or tendons being overstretched and/or torn
