What is Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain is a common condition that can affect daily activities such as reaching, lifting, dressing, or sleeping. It may develop gradually due to overuse, poor posture, or repetitive movements, or suddenly following an injury. Shoulder pain can limit range of motion, cause weakness, or lead to discomfort that radiates into the neck or upper arm.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can arise from a variety of conditions, including rotator cuff strain or irritation, tendonitis, bursitis, joint stiffness, muscle imbalance, or postural stress. Repetitive overhead activities, prolonged desk work, sports injuries, and age-related changes can all contribute to shoulder discomfort and reduced function.
