Common Shoulder Pain Conditions
Shoulder Dislocation: when the humeral head (the "ball" like end of your upper arm bone) is forced partially or fully out of place within the glenoid fossa (the "socket" like part of your shoulder blade), a dislocation has occurred. This can be very painful and lead to instability and weakness if left untreated.
Shoulder Bursitis/Tendonitis: bursae are small sacs found throughout the body that reduce friction in areas where tendons move over bones. Tendons connect muscles to bones. When overuse, repetitive movement, poor posture, and other issues are at play, bursae and tendons can become irritated and inflamed.
Frozen Shoulder: formally known as "adhesive capsulitis," this condition leads to progressive and marked range of motion loss in the shoulder. It's usually as a reaction to some sort of injury, illness, or infection in the shoulder area (e.g., septic arthritis, radiation exposure for breast cancer, osteoarthritis, bone fracture, etc.).
Strains & Sprains: acute or chronic factors can overload and damage the muscles and ligaments in the shoulder, especially the several rotator cuff muscles. We see muscle strains and sprains often in people who perform a lot of overhead movement (e.g., manual laborers, swimmers, etc.).
It's worth noting that shoulder pain can also occur when an issue from the spine refers symptoms to the shoulder region (many nerves in the cervical area provide motor and sensory information for the shoulders and arms). This can happen in situations such as whiplash or cervical radiculopathy.
