Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can have multiple etiologies or causes, including:
Traumatic Shoulder Pain
Ffractures and dislocations of the shoulder and acromioclavicular joint are often the result of falls and trauma. In younger people, this occurs during sports such as cycling or rugby, while in older adults, it is more commonly associated with the bone fragility caused by osteoporosis.
Degenerative Shoulder Pain
Cartilage wear and tear leads to what is known as shoulder osteoarthritis, which causes, to a greater or lesser degree, progressive pain and functional limitation, making it difficult to move the shoulder and perform daily tasks, including personal hygiene.
Calcific Tendinopathies
These result from calcium deposits within the tendons, which, during the resorption phase, cause intense inflammation and pain.
Inflammatory Shoulder Pain
Bursitis or tendinitis of the shoulder are perhaps the most common. They often occur in association with work or excessive exertion, as well as with the practice of certain sports such as weight training, gym workouts, swimming, tennis, handball, and volleyball (overhead sports).
There are currently effective solutions for managing these conditions.
