Shoulder Pain

Understanding Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can significantly disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks feel impossible. From reaching overhead to carrying groceries or even sleeping comfortably, persistent discomfort in your shoulder can limit your range of motion, affect your work, and prevent you from engaging in activities you love. Its impact extends beyond physical discomfort, often leading to frustration and a reduced quality of life.

Shoulder pain can stem from various causes, including rotator cuff tears, sprains and strains, frozen shoulder, bursitis, or general wear and tear due to aging, among many other conditions.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain:

Understanding the root cause of your shoulder pain is the first step to relief. Common contributing factors often include:

• Postural Habits: Chronic poor posture, such as rounded shoulders, can strain the joint.

• Lifestyle: Prolonged sitting or a lack of physical activity can weaken supporting muscles.

• Ergonomic Issues: An incorrect setup at your workstation or home can lead to imbalance.

• Repetitive Motion: Activities involving frequent overhead movements can cause wear and tear.

• Trauma: Sudden sports injuries or direct physical trauma to the shoulder (ex. a slip and fall).

• Overuse: Gradual damage from repetitive strain or repetitive use.

• Sleep Habits: Unsupportive or awkward sleeping positions can stress the shoulder joint.
