Understanding Shoulder Pain: Causes,
Symptoms, and Treatments

Shoulder pain can stem from various causes and significantly impact daily activities. Common causes include:

• Rotator cuff injuries: Tears or inflammation of the tendons surrounding the shoulder joint.
• Frozen shoulder: Stiffness and reduced range of motion due to thickening and tightening of the joint capsule.
• Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder, often caused by repetitive motions or overuse.
• Arthritis: Degeneration of the joint cartilage, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Symptoms of shoulder pain may include pain or discomfort during movement, difficulty lifting objects, and limited range of motion. Treatments range from conservative approaches such as rest, physical therapy, and medications to more advanced options like laser therapy and surgical intervention. Laser therapy offers a non-invasive and drug-free alternative that targets pain relief and promotes healing in the shoulder joint.
