Say Goodbye To Shoulder Pain And Regain Your Life!
The human body's shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion. It is thanks to a
collection of four muscles and their tendons known as the rotator cuff. However, due
to the bottom part's lack of adequate support, there is a possibility of shoulder
dislocation and subluxation with injury or accidents.
Symptoms Of Shoulder Pain
- Consistent or occasional pain in the shoulder joint, usually on the upper and outside side.
- Difficulty moving the shoulder due to tightness in and around the shoulder joint.
- Soreness or stiffness in the joint or the surrounding muscles making it difficult to move the arm, especially when raising it.
- Arm, forearm, and finger pain leading from the shoulder joint pain.
- Clicking or popping sounds during shoulder movement.
- Swelling or bruising in the shoulder area (if due to an injury).
Causes
There can be a wide range of potential reasons for shoulder pain. Some of them are
- Rotator cuff injuries or inflammation
- Arthritis
- Frozen shoulder
- Dislocation or subluxation
- Pinched Nerve
Treatment
Simple techniques can ease mild to severe shoulder discomfort at home.
- Take anti-inflammatory and pain medication that can help to relieve pain and lower inflammation.

- Use heat therapy to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff shoulder.
