shoulder pain

Shoulder pain occurs when the structures within or around the shoulder—such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, or the joint itself—become inflamed, strained, or injured. Common causes include rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, or repetitive motion. The shoulder’s complex structure allows for a wide range of movement, which also makes it susceptible to stress and injury. Pain may manifest as a dull ache, sharp sensations, or a limited range of motion. Treatment varies based on the cause and may include rest, physical therapy, medications, or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
