Understanding The Causes Of Shoulder Pain

​

To effectively address shoulder pain and support a successful recovery, it's essential to understand the common causes behind it. Here are some prevalent reasons for shoulder pain in non-athletes:
 

• Poor Posture: Maintaining incorrect posture while working, sitting, or even sleeping can strain the shoulder muscles, leading to discomfort and pain.                                                                            

• Overuse or Repetitive Movements: Engaging in repetitive tasks, such as lifting heavy objects or performing certain work-related movements, can put a strain on the shoulder and lead to muscle fatigue.

 

• Accidents and Falls: Sudden falls or accidents can result in shoulder injuries, such as dislocations or fractures, which can cause significant pain and reduced mobility.

​

• Degenerative Conditions: With age, the structures in the shoulder joint may undergo degenerative changes, leading to conditions like arthritis, which can cause chronic pain.

 

Common Shoulder Pain Conditions

​

At M.K. Clinic And Physiotherapy Center, we understand the impact of shoulder pain on your daily life. Our experienced professionals have successfully treated numerous individuals, helping them overcome various non-sports-related shoulder injuries, including:

1. Frozen Shoulder:

Frozen shoulder is characterized by the inflammation and thickening of the shoulder capsule, leading to stiffness and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. The exact cause is not always clear, but it can develop after prolonged immobilization or due to certain medical conditions.

Treatment:

• Gentle stretching exercises to improve mobility

• Joint mobilization techniques
