Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
There are several different causes of shoulder pain in patients. With our state-of-the-art pain management center and board-certified pain management doctors, we can diagnose the cause of your pain and address it with a personalized pain management plan. Common causes of shoulder pain include:
Rotator cuff injuries: The rotator cuff comprises a series of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place and facilitate arm and shoulder movement. When these tendons are inflamed from overuse, tendonitis, a type of inflammation of the tendons in the rotator cuff, can develop. This type of injury is common in people who perform repeated movements that utilize the rotator cuff, like athletes or people who work physically demanding jobs.
Arthritis of the Shoulder: Several types of arthritis can cause joint pain in the shoulder. The two most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. With osteoarthritis, the protective layer of cartilage that cushions the bones breaks down over time, leading to joint stiffness and pain. It commonly affects the shoulder joint and can be present in one or both shoulders. With rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system releases antibodies that attack healthy joint tissues. It is a type of autoimmune disease that commonly causes shoulder arthritis. The Michigan Center for Pain Management is equipped to treat both types of shoulder arthritis.
Bursitis: Bursitis is the term for inflammation of the bursa, a small sac filled with fluid that cushions between the body’s bones. When the bursa of the shoulder becomes inflamed, it can lead to shoulder pain and a restricted range of motion.
Pinched Nerves: When nerves in the shoulder or the neck become pinched, they can cause shoulder pain. Pinched nerves can cause pain, numbness, weakness, loss of range of motion, and a pins and needles sensation.
