As a highly-flexible part of the human body, shoulders have an impressive range of motion. Because of this, they are also susceptible to overuse, stress, and injury.
If you are experiencing pain, tenderness, swelling, weakness, or a decreased range in motion in your shoulders, it could be a symptom of a larger injury or orthopaedic issue. Shoulder injuries can occur in an instant, or worsen over time from everyday use. Regardless of the cause, a shoulder injury can negatively impact normal daily functions, making it difficult to lift things, exercise, or even raise your arms. It can also affect the surrounding muscles, bones, and ligaments. It’s imperative that you consult the assistance of a shoulder specialist as soon as possible.
