What may contribute to shoulder pain?
Shoulder discomfort may involve joints, muscles, tendons, or nearby structures. It may develop after injury, repeated lifting, overhead activity, or changes in how you use your arm. Your examination considers the shoulder, shoulder blade, neck, and upper back.
Conditions often seen with shoulder pain
These concerns may occur together, but do not always share the same cause.
Care often used for shoulder pain
Depending on your findings, care may include soft tissue therapies, joint manipulation or mobilization, and movement education. Exercises may focus on mobility, strength, and coordination between the arm and shoulder blade. Tingling or numbness warrants assessing possible nerve involvement rather than assuming the shoulder is the source.
This information describes care options. An examination is needed to determine what is appropriate for you.
