What is the cause of shoulder pain?

Your shoulder pain may originate in several different places, including the structures of the shoulder itself as well as the surrounding areas, such as the neck and spine. Some shoulder pain starts with sudden accidents like sports injuries while other cases of shoulder pain develop slowly over the years due to repetitive use or tissue degeneration.

Some common causes of shoulder pain can include:

  • Bursitis – inner-joint inflammation
  • Rotator cuff tear – damage in the muscles and tendons around your shoulder joint
  • Shoulder dislocation – upper arm pops out of your shoulder socket
  • Cervical radiculopathy – nerve root damage in your neck radiating pain to the shoulder region
  • Osteoarthritis – shoulder joint deterioration
  • Rheumatoid arthritis – shoulder joint inflammation and deformity
  • Tendinitis – shoulder tendon pinching

Your shoulder pain could also be related to an issue in your neck or back. Dr. Deo is experienced in diagnosing and treating acute and chronic shoulder pain, and she’s ready to guide you through a full recovery.

Shoulder pain diagnosis is the most important step in formulating an ideal treatment regimen. Dr. Deo uses a physical exam, a full medical history, and your input to determine possible causes of your shoulder pain. She uses advanced on-site diagnostics to definitively identify the underlying cause of your shoulder pain.
