Shoulder Pain
Rotator Cuff Tears
Rotator cuff tears occur when one of the tendons in the shoulder tears, which can cause pain, weakness, and a limited range of motion. These tears are often a result of repetitive stress or acute injuries.
Shoulder Bursitis
Shoulder bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between tissues of the shoulder. It can cause pain and swelling, often resulting from overuse or repetitive motion.
Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder injuries encompass a variety of conditions affecting the shoulder joint, including strains, sprains, dislocations, and fractures. These injuries can result from trauma, overuse, or degenerative changes.
Shoulder Labral Tear
A shoulder labral tear is a tear in the ring of cartilage (labrum) that surrounds the shoulder socket. This can cause pain, instability, and decreased strength, often resulting from acute injury or repetitive shoulder motions.
Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Shoulder osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage and bones of the shoulder. It leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, typically due to aging or previous injuries.
Subacromial Impingement
Subacromial impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff and the bursa become compressed under the acromion (part of the shoulder blade). This compression causes pain and inflammation, often from repetitive overhead activities.
