Know Everything About Shoulder Pain

What Is Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain refers to the pain in the shoulders of a person. The pain in the shoulder emerges from the joints of the shoulders or from the surrounding tendons, muscles, ligaments. Shoulder pain increases with the movements of your arms and shoulders.

Your shoulder has many ranges of motion and any damage to the shoulders can cause extreme pain and could make you unable to move effortlessly. Your shoulders consist of three main bones and two joints which are responsible for the movement of shoulders. The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body and it moves the shoulder in forwarding, backward, upper and circular motion. Shoulders get their range of motion from the rotator cuff and it becomes very difficult to move your shoulders if tendons or bones around the rotator cuff are damaged or swollen.

Shoulder pain is common with people above 60 years of age because the soft tissues surrounding the shoulders start degenerating. In most of cases shoulder pain can be treated at home with therapies but in some severe cases, medications and surgery may be needed.
