Forward and backward movement in the shoulder is possible because of its versatility in various motions. However, this continuous movement can lead to pain or discomfort if negatively affected. Patients often experience shoulder pain due to personal injuries, repetitive use, or manual labor. Our chiropractor at Secrest Family Chiropractic in Scottsdale is here to help patients suffering from shoulder pain. Common causes of shoulder pain include:

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

The rotator cuff is a collection of tendons and muscles surrounding the shoulder joint. This condition is characterized by the swelling of tendons that are irritated and damaged. Age-related degeneration makes the tendon easily damaged by normal daily activities.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is also known as adhesive capsulitis. It is the inflammation due to injury that occurs in the lining of the capsule of the ball socket joint. The inflammation causes the shoulder capsule to thicken and tighten.

Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff tears often occur due to overuse of the shoulder. Repeated use leads to chronic inflammation and degeneration, making the tendon wear down and tear.

Spinal Issues

In some cases, the origin of the pain is not the shoulder, but it stems from somewhere else. We have at times diagnosed cervical spine and disc issues as the root cause of shoulder pain.

Other causes of shoulder pain include:

• Arthritis
• Swollen bursa sacs
• A pinched nerve in the neck or shoulder
• Dislocated shoulder
• Heart attack
