Understanding Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can affect everything from sleeping and dressing to lifting and driving.
You might experience:
- Pain when lifting your arm or reaching overhead
- Difficulty lying on one side at night
- Weakness or stiffness in the shoulder
- Pain when fastening a seatbelt or putting on a coat
- Aching after desk work, repetitive movement or sport
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, which also makes it vulnerable to strain and injury. Pain can start in the shoulder itself or be referred from the neck and upper back. Without treatment, shoulder issues can become persistent and restrict everyday movement.
