Shoulder pain

Shoulder pain, an unwelcome guest, can hinder simple tasks and compromise the joy of life’s daily moments. From raising an arm to wearing a backpack, it can cast a shadow over seemingly trivial actions.

What may cause shoulder pain?

Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation in the tendons of the shoulder’s rotator cuff can lead to acute or chronic pain.
Frozen Shoulder: Stiffness and pain that develops gradually, making it hard to move the shoulder.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that protect the shoulder joints.
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease can lead to shoulder pain as cartilage breaks down.
Tendonitis: Overuse or strain can lead to inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder.
Fracture: A break in one of the bones in or around the shoulder.

Podiatry
