Shoulder Pain Dallas
If you have ever suffered from shoulder pain, you are not alone. Millions of people suffer from shoulder pain in their lives. There can be several reasons why shoulder pain occur, and it is one of the most common areas on the body to experience pay due to the makeup of what we call the shoulder.
When referring to the shoulder, we are talking about several joints that are combined with tendons, muscles, and bones that work together to allow a wide range of motion for the arm. Things like throwing a ball, extending your arm, or scratching your back, are all done with these tendons and muscles working together as one unit – the shoulder.
Causes of Shoulder Pain
The causes of shoulder pain can stem from one of many factors. You may be experiencing pain from an injury that has occurred (sports, auto, or other), or a disease of some sort, or even due to your genetic makeup. In any case the root causes of shoulder pain usually mature into one of the following, more specific shoulder pain conditions:
- Avascular necrosis
- Bursitis
- Cervical radiculopathy
- Dislocated shoulder
- Hiatal hernia
- Osteoarthritis
- Polymyalgia rheumatica
- Rotator cuff injury
- Sprains and strains
- Tendinitus
- Torn Cartilage
- and more.
These are more common cases of shoulder pain, but there are others not included in this list. When you are experiencing one of these, the injury can cause pain from mild to severe. When you are experiencing this pain, you will also suffer from lack of mobility and range of motion in your shoulder. If not treated, the pain you may be experiencing can spread to other parts of the body, such as the neck or back. This is why taking care of shoulder pain as soon as possible is vital for pain relief.
