What causes shoulder pain in Wilsonville OR?

There are numerous potential causes of shoulder pain. Your shoulder is a large, relatively complicated joint that is made up of bones, connective tissues, muscles, and nerves. Irritation to any of these components either from an injury or due to the effects of aging can cause relatively significant or even severe forms of pain.

Damage from sporting injuries, accidents or repetitive use injuries can cause acute shoulder pain if any of the joints are subluxated, and/or the soft tissues of the shoulder joint such as tendons and ligaments become irritated and inflamed. Chronic inflammation of the shoulder can lead to degenerative conditions that develop slowly over time after the joint has been subjected to years of wear and tear.

What conditions can cause shoulder pain?

There are many conditions that can cause shoulder pain, and some are more common than others. The types of shoulder problems treated at Modern Movement Medicine include:

• Bursitis
• Osteoarthritis
• Tendonitis
• Rotator cuff injury
• Frozen shoulder
• Pulled muscles
• Labral tears
• Subluxation (partial dislocation)

Chronic shoulder pain is typically due to conditions like arthritis that cause damage to the protective linings on the ends of your bones. Without protection, the bones in your shoulder can rub against one another, creating friction that leads to joint inflammation and chronic pain.
