Our network of multi-specialty shoulder specialists offers comprehensive care throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, ensuring you receive personalized treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder injuries can arise from various incidents, including car accidents, workplace mishaps, and sports injuries. These injuries might include:
- Rotator cuff tears: Damage to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder.
- Shoulder dislocations: When the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket.
- Fractures: Broken bones in the shoulder area.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the shoulder joint.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the shoulder.
When to Seek Help for Shoulder Pain
If you’re experiencing discomfort, especially with overhead reaching, lifting, or extension, or if you notice a restricted or painful range of motion, or pain at the front of your shoulder, it’s important to consult with a board-certified physician. Addressing these symptoms early can lead to a faster recovery and prevent the condition from worsening. If the pain or limited motion persists for more than three months, it’s considered chronic, and you should consult with a shoulder specialist right away to get back to feeling your best.
