What causes Shoulder Pain?

The shoulder is a complex joint that consists of three primary bones, the humerus, the clavicle, and the scapula. A number of different circumstances surrounding these bones and their underlying cartridge can result in shoulder pain. They include, but are not limited to the following:
​​​​​​​

• Dislocation
  A dislocated shoulder can occur when the upper bone in the arm pops out of its cup-shaped shoulder blade socket.

• Shoulder bursae
  Bursitis of the shoulder occurs when the small, fluid-filled sacs that reduce joint friction become irritated or inflamed.

• Frozen shoulder
  A frozen shoulder refers to stiffness in the joint that grows more severe over time.

• Rotator cuff injury
  Rotator cuff injuries are most often associated with sports accidents that injure one or more of the four rotator cuff muscles located in the vicinity of the shoulder.

• Strains
  Shoulder strains occur when a muscle or tendon in the shoulder is stretched too far or torn.

• Sprains
  A shoulder sprain occurs when the ligaments in the acromioclavicular (AC) joint are torn.

• Tendinitis
  Tendinitis occurs when the tendons in the shoulder's rotary cuff become swollen and inflamed.

• Fractures
  Shoulder fractures occur when a bone in the shoulder area is cracked or broken.

• Arthritis
  Arthritis in the shoulder is a painful condition that causes stiffness, swelling, and pain that gradually increases over time.
