General information
The shoulder is a very flexible joint of our body and consists of three main bones: the scapula, the humerus and the clavicle. These are connected by numerous muscles, tendons and ligaments and enable us to move every day.
Causes
Just like the pain itself, the causes of shoulder pain can be very diverse. The most common causes include:
- Acute injuries: Shoulder injuries such as strains, bruises, dislocations or bone fractures can cause pain.
- Overload: Extreme strain on the shoulder muscles due to repeated movements or heavy lifting can overload the shoulder.
- Inflammation: Inflammation of the tendons or mucous sacs of the shoulder, known as tendinitis or mucous sac inflammation, is a common cause of shoulder pain.
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis of the shoulder can lead to chronic shoulder pain.
- Nerve compression: Pinched or irritated nerves in the shoulder can cause pain, numbness and tingling in the arm.
