SHOULDER PAIN
Shoulder pain can prevent you from doing the things you love. Physical therapy at Performance Therapy can help you get back to your daily activities pain-free!
Shoulder pain is a common issue that can impact people of all ages, often making simple daily activities like reaching, lifting, or even sleeping uncomfortable. At Performance Therapy, we understand how debilitating shoulder pain can be, and we’re here to help you regain mobility, strength, and comfort through personalized care.
COMMON CAUSES
The shoulder is a complex joint with a wide range of motion, making it vulnerable to various conditions and injuries. Here are some of the most common causes:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation in the tendons of the rotator cuff are a frequent source of shoulder pain, often resulting from repetitive movements or acute trauma.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition leads to stiffness and pain due to the thickening and tightening of the shoulder capsule.
Shoulder Impingement: When the rotator cuff tendons are compressed during shoulder movements, it can cause pain and limit mobility.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can lead to joint pain and stiffness over time.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction in the joint, can cause discomfort.
Dislocations or Fractures: Trauma from accidents or sports injuries can lead to dislocations or fractures, causing severe pain and instability.
