What is the cause of Shoulder Pain?

Causes of shoulder pain are numerous and may include inflammation of synovial joints, osteoarthritis, dislocation, separation, fracture, rotator cuff tendinitis, bursitis, labral tears, and other injuries. Shoulder pain occurs when different structures in the shoulder joint become damaged. The shoulder is one of the most movable joints in the body.

Main causes of pain in the shoulder are diseases, wear and tear, degenerative conditions, overuse and under use.

The first step in the evaluation will include a comprehensive history and physical examination of the shoulder. Your doctor will ask how and when the pain started, whether it has occurred before, and how it was treated. He or she will observe your shoulder range of motion and strength, check for tender areas, deformities or swelling, and look for abnormalities.

Surgical approaches include open procedures with large reconstructions and total shoulder replacement.
