Shoulder pain

Pain with overhead reaching or side‑lying that can reflect rotator cuff tendon overload and bursa irritation. Management typically combines load guidance, exercise, and selected injections.

Weakness and pain with lifting or reaching can indicate a tendon tear. Assessment helps determine severity and whether rehabilitation, injections, or surgical referral is appropriate.

Irritation of the suprascapular nerve can contribute to shoulder pain and weakness, sometimes linked to overhead activity or cysts near the labrum.

A feeling of slipping, catching, or apprehension can reflect instability. Treatment focuses on stability, strength, and movement control; imaging helps when structural injury is suspected.

Labral injuries can cause deep shoulder pain, clicking, or reduced performance with overhead tasks. Plans range from rehabilitation to targeted injections or surgical review depending on function.

Front‑of‑shoulder pain can relate to the long head of biceps tendon. Management includes load modification and strengthening; imaging can help confirm tears or tendon instability.

Pain on top of the shoulder, especially with cross‑body movements, can relate to the acromioclavicular joint. Treatment may include rehabilitation and image‑guided injections.

Arthritis in the main shoulder joint can cause stiffness, night pain, and reduced range of motion. Care combines exercise, pain control, injections, and surgical options when needed.

Altered shoulder blade control can increase load on shoulder tissues. Rehabilitation targets posture, strength, and coordination to improve movement efficiency.
