Siiora Surgicals's blog : Shoulder Pain - What Are the Reasons?
The shoulder has a wide range of motion, and it is involved in various day-to-day activities that we perform. The shoulder joint is made of three bones namely humerus, scapula, and clavicle. It is also surrounded by a group of muscles and tendons called the rotator cuff. We all put a lot of stress on this joint in our routine lives. However, it can easily bear that. But in some, the joint is made to put excessive stress like in athletes and people with physically demanding jobs. As a result, more wear & tear occurs in the joint. This results in shoulder pain.
Well, there could be multiple reasons for pain in the shoulder and this is what we will be discussing in the post. Some cases may improve with medication and rest whereas others may demand surgical intervention.
To get a high-quality range of shoulder implants, find experienced orthopaedic manufacturers.
What Could Cause Shoulder Pain?
Some of the common causes of shoulder pain that are reported across the globe include:
Arthritis
Arthritis is an orthopedic condition that can affect any of the joints in our body. Thus, the condition can also affect the shoulder joint. It causes wear & tear in the protective joint cartilage that serves as cushions in the joints. Over time, the damage becomes severe enough to cause shoulder pain. The worst part of the condition is that it has no cure and the treatment offered aims at improving the associated symptoms.
Bursitis
Shoulder bursitis is a common condition. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that serve as cushions between bones and connective tissues. They also help bones, tendons, and muscles move together. Now, if we talk about shoulder bursitis, it is a condition characterized by the inflammation of bursae. It is a painful condition that may also accompany swelling which may come and go.
Shoulder Dislocation
A shoulder dislocation is when the humeral head moves out of its socket. It results in immediate pain and intensity depends on the severity of the condition. Dislocation can be complete or partial, and that decides the type of treatment required.
Shoulder Tendinitis
Shoulder tendinitis is among the common causes of shoulder pain. It occurs because of athletic activities and overuse of the shoulder joint. This painful condition is characterized by the inflammation of the tendons that surrounds the shoulder joint.
Bone Spurs
Bone spurs also result in shoulder pain if they develop in the shoulder joint. They are nothing but bone overgrowths that develop around the joint. Degenerative joint conditions, injuries, and general wear & tear may result in the development of bone spurs around the shoulder joint.
These are the common shoulder pain causes that people may experience. They can be mild or severe, varying from person to person. Similarly, the treatment also depends on the severity of the condition.
