Understanding Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain Causes, Symptoms & How It Affects Your Daily Life
Shoulder pain can stem from various causes, including overuse, poor posture, injuries, or underlying conditions such as arthritis or rotator cuff issues. Whether it’s from repetitive movements, sports or daily activities, shoulder pain can limit your range of motion and affect your ability to perform even simple tasks.
Common symptoms include stiffness, weakness, difficulty lifting your arm and discomfort that may radiate down the arm or into the neck and upper back.
