Understanding Shoulder Pain and Its Causes

The shoulder joint functions as the most flexible joint found throughout the human body. The joint structure consists of bones alongside muscles and ligaments with tendons which work together to enable users to move freely. The shoulder joint contains a complicated structure which increases its risk for both injuries and muscle tension.

Some of the common causes of shoulder pain include:

• Rotator cuff injuries

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

• Shoulder impingement syndrome

• Ligament or tendon injuries

• Sports-related injuries

• Arthritis affecting the shoulder joint
