Common Causes of Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Issues
Understanding the underlying causes of shoulder pain is essential for effective treatment. Common contributors include:
Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder. Injuries here, such as rotator cuff tears or tendinitis, can cause significant pain and limited movement.
Pain Between Shoulder Blades
Often linked to muscle tension or posture-related strain, pain between the shoulder blades can result from repetitive motions or stress.
Overuse and Strain
Repetitive motions, especially in sports or physical labor, can lead to wear and tear, causing pain and discomfort in the shoulder area.
Each person’s shoulder pain is unique, and our osteopaths develop tailored treatment plans to address both symptoms and root causes.
Symptoms of Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Pain
Shoulder pain can present in various ways, depending on the nature and cause of the issue. Common symptoms include:
Persistent Pain: A dull ache or sharp pain, often worsening with movement.
Painful Shoulder or Tenderness: Discomfort in the shoulder or surrounding areas, including pain between shoulder blades.
Rotator Cuff Pain: Pain or weakness, particularly when lifting the arm or reaching overhead.
