Common Shoulder Injuries

June 2, 2014 By Evolve Therapeutic

common-shoulder-injuries

As with most joint conditions, shoulder problems can be traced back to misuse, overuse, disuse or abuse.

Age plays a factor. As we age the soft tissue surrounding the shoulder undergoes structural changes, which can lead to weakening of the ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

SOME COMMON SHOULDER INJURIES:

Shoulder Impingement:

  • Pinching sensation when raising the arm
  • Pain when sleeping on one side
  • Pain on movement

Frozen Shoulder:

  • Pain in all directions
  • A marked reduction in your range of motion

Tendinitis:

  • Pain in the upper shoulder
  • Pain on sleeping on the shoulder
  • Pain on lifting the arm away or overhead
  • Pain may travel down the arm
  • *Repeated motion involving the arms will wear down the surrounding structures

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS):

  • Not very common
  • Numbness or tingling down the arm
  • Pain, swelling and coldness of the arm
  • *Causes: occupations that involve a lot of heavy lifting (eg. Carpenters, construction) or static positions for an extended period of time (eg. hair stylists, mechanics)

If you feel there is prolonged discomfort and/or pain in the shoulder speak with your healthcare professional. Early intervention and preventative maintenance is the key to maintaining optimal shoulder health.
