Cause and Treatment Options for a Painful Shoulder
Shoulder pain can affect anyone at any time. The young, middle-aged and elderly are all at risks, without immunity! The reason being is that the shoulder joint is the most mobile and active joint of the body. No other joint in the body has the same level of mobility as the shoulder. Unfortunately, all that flexibility and motion comes with increased risk of injury and pain. Pain in the shoulder caused by injury or damage of the joints, joint capsule, muscles, tendons or ligaments are treatable. This article provides an in-depth description of causes, symptoms, self-help tips and corrective shoulder pain treatment in Malaysia for faster recovery.
What Caused My Shoulder to Hurt?
The humerus, scapula, and the clavicle are the three principal bones that make up the shoulder joint. These bones are held together via an intricate connection of ligaments that are supported and mobilized by muscles and tendons. A disruption in the integrity, normal functioning or alignment of any of the tissues including the joint capsule can lead to a painful and debilitating condition including:
Frozen Shoulder: It refers to a progressive condition whose exact cause is unclear. The shoulder joint comprises numerous diverse structures, and as a person ages, these surrounding tissues lose their flexibility and become increasingly tight and painful thus reducing the range of motion, hence the term frozen shoulder. our shoulder treatment of a frozen shoulder can repair the damaged tissues without injections or surgery.
Pinched Nerves: Compression of the nerves in the cervical spine and pectoral region of the chest is a known factor in shoulder pain. Compression of nerves due to neck pain or injuries, cervical bone spurs, spondylosis, slip-disc (herniated discs or bulging discs) and thoracic outlet syndrome cervical and spondylolisthesis are among the leading causes of nerve impingements that cause shoulder pain.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: It usually occurs after repeated overhead activity such as swimming or weightlifting. The shoulder tendons get impinged between the bones that comprise the shoulder joint thus making it painful to move the arm.
What is Frozen Shoulder?
As mentioned frozen shoulder is descriptive of stiffness, pain and reduced shoulder mobility. There are two forms of frozen shoulder, primary frozen shoulder, and secondary frozen shoulder. The term primary frozen shoulder is descriptive of true adhesive capsulitis. Secondary frozen shoulder refers to a true frozen shoulder. The difference between the secondary and the primary forms of adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is cause or etiology. Primary adhesive capsulitis is more difficult and harder to treat in comparison to the secondary adhesive capsulitis or true frozen shoulder.
What is the best shoulder pain treatment for a frozen shoulder?
True or primary adhesive capsulitis results from diseases, disorders or a separate illness.
In others words, conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease or Parkinson’s result in shoulder pain felt in primary adhesive capsulitis. However, we must mention that shoulder surgery is perhaps the most common cause of the primary adhesive capsulitis. FOr secondary type of frozen shoulder, our targeted non-surgical shoulder pain treatment works best.
The true frozen shoulder or secondary adhesive capsulitis is due to degenerative changes or injury of the shoulder joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments or bursae. The rotator cuff syndrome, tendonitis, and bursitis are the most common diagnostic terms that relate a true frozen shoulder.
Common Shoulder Conditions that Cause Pain
Bursitis: It is the inflammation and irritation of a fluid-filled sac near the shoulder.
Rotator Cuff Tear or Strain: Is the result of damage that results in tears of the stabilizing muscles that are collectively called the rotator cuffs.
Tendonitis: Relates to the irritation and inflammation of a tendon.
Instability: It refers to hypermobility and partial or complete dislocation of a joint.
Osteoarthritis: Refers to wearing down of the cushioning cartilage within the joint.
Labrum Tear: Tears of the cartilaginous structure that cushions the shoulder joint.

However, you should exercise caution when you rest the joint since prolonged immobilization may cause frozen shoulder.
