Shoulder Pain Q & A

What causes shoulder pain?

Your shoulder is made up of several joints, muscles, and tendons that give you a wide range of motion. When any of these structures are damaged by injury or disease, you can develop chronic shoulder pain and loss of movement.

Some of the common causes of shoulder pain include the following conditions:

Arthritis
Inflammation
Tendon tears
Joint instability
Degenerative joint disease

You may also develop impingement issues, which occur when pressure is put on your soft tissues each time you lift your arm away from your body. Lifting causes the shoulder blade to push on your rotator cuff tendons, leading to chronic pain and limited movement.

What are my risk factors for shoulder pain?

There are a number of factors that influence the health of your shoulder. As you get older, your joints begin wearing down, leading to chronic pain. You may also be prone to developing arthritis due to age or previous shoulder injuries.

In addition to aging, your risk for chronic shoulder pain may be due to repetitive motions involved in sports participation, your job, or other activities.

What treatments are available for shoulder pain?

Depending on the root cause of your shoulder pain, Dr. Mann may recommend chiropractic adjustments to your cervical spine and shoulder to relieve pain and increase your mobility.

Massage therapy also alleviates pain and increases the circulation of blood into the shoulder joint to promote natural healing. This type of therapy is also good for relaxing tense muscles in the shoulder and neck.

With his certification in physiotherapy, Dr. Mann may perscribe active or passive therarpy and therapeutic exercises you can do at home to strengthen the muscles in your shoulder that support the joint. Exercises are also effective in addressing chronic pain and increasing your range of motion.

In many cases, adjusting your lifestyle to reduce repetitive motions also improves your shoulder health. You may need to request light-duty work or take time off from sports that can aggravate an existing shoulder condition.
