Understanding Your Shoulder
The shoulder is a complex joint, and pain can arise from various structures, including the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Common causes of shoulder issues include:
- Rotator cuff tears: Tears in the muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
- Bursitis and tendinitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) or tendons in the shoulder.
- Frozen shoulder: A condition that causes stiffness and limited range of motion in the shoulder.
- Dislocations and separations: Injuries to the ligaments that hold the shoulder joint together.
