Shoulder pain is a common complaint that may be caused by different conditions. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis to know what causes the shoulder pain symptoms in order t gain the most appropriate treatment.

There are different conditions that could cause shoulder pain. One is frozen shoulder which is alternately called as adhesive capsulitis. In the presence of pain and stiffnes, stretching exercise is helpful.

Rotator cuff tendonitis which is a condition also called as shoulder bursitis causes shoulder pain symptoms when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles are impinged on the shoulder joint. Pain, swelling and limitation of motion result with an inflammed tendon.

Calcific tendonitis is another cause for shoulder pain. Calcium deposits on the tendons along the shoulder joints that limits motion due to pain. The amount of calcium deposit will manifest symptoms that is equal to the extent of its calcium formation.

Traumatic injury to the shoulder will also cause pain on the shoulder. Oftentimes shoulder instability occur which causes pain during movement. Dislocation can also cause pain, swelling and limitation of range of motion in the shoulder. This may be due to trauma that cause the arm bone to be separated from the scapula.

Arthritis can cause degeneration of the shoulder joint structures that result to stiffness, pain and limited shoulder range of motion. Any injury to the shoulder structures such as tendons, muscles, tissues causes inflammation always result to pain.

Sometimes improper sleeping position may also cause joint stiffness and pain on the shoulder. If there is no underlying serious condition that cause shoulder pain, it will eventually subside with simple treatment of massage and shoulder exercise.

In the presence of infection manifested with pain, swelling, fever, and tenderness together with limitation of shoulder motion accompanied with pain, it is important to see your doctor immediately.

Whatever the cause of your shoulder pain, rest is am important management to help relieve the discomforts and prevent aggravating the pain on the shoulder. Keeping the shoulder immobile because of pain may lead to frozen shoulder that is manifested with stiffness and inability to move the shoulder.

Application of hot and cold compress provides better relief on spasm, swelling, and pain. Stretching the muscles and tendons around the shoulder also helps maintain the elasticity of these structures that may evade joint stiffness.

Anti-inflammatory medication is the best treatment for swelling and inflammation. Because the shoulder is a highly mobile structure it is at risk to different conditions. Identification the underlying cause of your shoulder pain helps in providing the proper management for your pain and discomforts.
