Reasons for shoulder pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shoulder pain can range from minor pains to severe bone-on-bone discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoulder pain is caused by a number of factors. You may have been in an accident, injured a muscle, or suffered from arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever amount of discomfort you’re experiencing, here are some frequent causes of shoulder pain for which you can seek treatment in Bethesda<\/a><\/strong> and Kensington<\/a><\/strong>, MD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
Rotator cuff injuries<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Shoulder soreness, arm weakness, difficulties reaching behind the back, and sleeping problems are all symptoms of rotator cuff injury.<\/p>\n

Physical therapy can often help to relieve discomfort and improve strength without the need for surgery. However, if surgery is required, physical therapy will be an important part of the recovery process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Frozen shoulder<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Are you experiencing a painful loss of motion and a tightness of the shoulder joint? You might have a condition known as \u201cfrozen shoulder\u201d, causing restriction in movement. This syndrome can occur if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a long time or if you have been bedridden.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Arthritis<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

The two most frequent kinds of arthritis that affect the shoulder are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both result in shoulder muscle weakness, making it difficult to execute daily tasks.<\/p>\n

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to target the membranes that surround the shoulder joint. Discomfort and inflammation are symptoms of this illness.<\/p>\n

Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage in the shoulder joint wears down significantly. This is usually a result of age or overuse. Our Bethesda and Kensington, MD physical therapy clinic can help you find relief for both of these issues!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Impingement<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Impingement typically occurs because of abnormal joint movement and tracking of the ball and socket joint as you lift your arm overhead. Pain typically occurs when you lift your arm at or above 90 degrees.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tendinitis<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Tendinitis is inflammation of the muscle tendons supporting the shoulder. When tendons become inflamed over time, they can cause swelling and severe impingement when you raise your arm.<\/p>\n

Poor posture contributes to tendinitis because it disrupts the equilibrium of your shoulders and causes tension and weakness.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
