ARE YOU EXPERIENCING PAIN DURING SHOULDER MOVEMENT?
Shoulder Tendinitis: This condition involves shoulder tendon injury, resulting in pain, inflammation, and restricted movement. Overuse, repetitive motions, or trauma are common causes. Symptoms include pain during shoulder or arm movement, a grinding or clicking sensation, and diminished range of motion. Specific types include supraspinatus tendinitis and biceps tendinitis.
Rotator Cuff Tear: High-impact trauma can lead to tears in shoulder muscles, causing severe pain, swelling, and restricted shoulder motion.
Shoulder Bursitis and Impingement Syndrome: Often observed in swimmers, inflammation in the rotator cuff tendon or bursa can impede shoulder structures. Symptoms include difficulty moving the shoulder overhead, pain, and swelling.
Frozen Shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition induces pain and stiffness in the shoulder.
Shoulder Dislocation: Instability in the shoulder joint due to trauma or muscle tear may dislocate the shoulder from its position, with a popping sound during movement being a common symptom.
