Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain may originate from different sources. The shoulder is a complex joint with many connecting tissues, so an issue with any of these components can lead to discomfort. The most typical causes of shoulder pain include:

Rotator Cuff Injuries

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and help stabilize it. Rotator cuff tears are common sources of pain.
This problem occurs when the shoulder tendons become inflamed and start rubbing against the bones, causing pain when lifting the arm. Inflammation usually develops due to repetitive overhead motions.
The shoulder joint is the most mobile part of the body, so it’s vulnerable to dislocations. For example, a sports injury may dislocate the upper arm bone from the socket in the shoulder blade, damaging tissues and causing ongoing pain. It can also lead to shoulder instability.
This condition is characterized by an irritation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction in the shoulder joint). It may be caused by overuse or injury.
Degenerative bone conditions like osteoarthritis can wear down the cartilage within the joint, leading to shoulder pain and loss of mobility.
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition is characterized by tightening of connective tissue around the shoulder joint, causing aches and stiffness.
