Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries are common issues that affect the muscles, tendons, and bones in the shoulder area. They can occur from sudden trauma, like a fall or sports injury, or from repetitive use, such as heavy lifting or overhead activities. Common types include rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, and tendinitis. Symptoms often include pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited range of motion. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, medications, or in some cases, surgery. Proper warm-up and strength training can help prevent such injuries, which are especially prevalent in athletes and those with physically demanding jobs.
