Why does my shoulder hurt?
Shoulder pain can be a debilitating experience that affects your daily activities and significantly impacts your quality of life. But why does your shoulder hurt? Understanding the root cause of your pain is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
Shoulder pain can be caused by various conditions, including:
Rotator cuff injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint. Injuries to the rotator cuff can occur due to overuse, repetitive movements, or trauma.
The most common symptoms include pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. People often notice functional limitations affecting daily activities such as dressing and reaching. It is also common to experience difficulty with overhead movements and lifting objects.
Shoulder instability
Bursitis
Shoulder impingement syndrome
Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons or bursa in the shoulder become compressed or pinched between the bones of the joint. Symptoms include pain, weakness, and limited range of motion, especially when reaching overhead.
Impairments may include difficulty with overhead movements and lifting objects. At the same time, functional limitations can affect daily activities such as dressing and reaching.
Tendinopathy / Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon due to overuse, injury, or other factors. In comparison, tendinosis is a chronic condition when the tendon degenerates due to repeated stress or injury. For some this chronic condition leads to degenerative tearing when the tendon gradually breaks down and tears over time.
Other tendon-related problems or conditions can include tenosynovitis, in which the tendon sheath becomes inflamed, and tendon ruptures, in which the tendon tears completely.
DuPont physical therapists will take a holistic approach to your assessment and care to ensure we address the root cause of any tendon-related issue.
Labral Tears
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is common in both active and inactive populations. Although most cases of osteoarthritis have no known cause, arthritis often develops after a traumatic event and/or repetitive stresses after an injury. There is also evidence that a genetic component makes you more susceptible to developing this condition. Regardless of how it starts, it typically leads to the loss of articular cartilage, pain, and inflammation.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to target the membranes surrounding the shoulder joint. This can result in discomfort and inflammation, making it difficult to perform daily activities without pain.
