What Are The Most Commonly Injured Parts Of Shoulders?
A shoulder injury can happen to anyone, but they are the most common in younger persons. Shoulder injuries lead instabilities and inevitable degenerative changes. The most common injured shoulder part is the rotator cuffs. Other injured structures include:
- Bursas are sacs of fluids that counter friction. In the shoulder, there are four main bursae. When these sacs of fluids are compressed or injured, they get inflamed, and that aroused state is known as bursitis. Bursitis can cause significant pain.
- Tendons are fibrous bands that attach to bones. They are the anchors that attach muscles to bone. Tendonitis occurs with excessive use or injury.
- Ligaments are a common cause of pain. A sprain is a medical term for a torn ligament. Sprains (ligamentous tears) are usually accompanying tears that involve muscles or tendons.
- Muscle and tendons can also tear, leading to a condition known as stains. Strains often occur with a sprain, which is why many refer to them as “sprain strain” collectively because when you get one, you also get the other.
- Degeneration can occur in the shoulder joint, resulting in loss of synovial fluids and wear or tears in the shoulder cartilage. It often leads to an arthritic formation, and it is almost always due to injury or wears and tear.
- Arthritis is a common cause of shoulder. RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and OA (Osteoarthritis) both can cause shoulder pain. Arthritis occurs in combination with one or more of the already listed disorders above, the most common of which is the adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder).
Rotator Cuff Muscles & Painful Shoulder
Rotator Cuff muscles are a group of muscles that enable you to have the mobility you need for an active life. These muscles are the reason why the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. If the rotator cuff is involved, the pain is usually in the front or the side of the shoulder. This pain is generally worse when you raise your arm or lift something above your head. The pain can be severe enough to keep you from doing even the simplest tasks. Night pain is a common occurrence, and it may be intense enough to wake you. Rotator Cuff injuries require proper care urgently.
Choosing the right center is the first step towards recovery. Make sure they have skills, knowledge, and advanced therapy devices specific for shoulder pain. Most chiropractic or physiotherapy centers fail because they lack the basics understanding, expertise, or equipment needed to get the job done.

Will Shoulder Surgery Cure Your Shoulder Pain?
Cutting and throwing away essential body parts should dose not constitute a cure! The same is true about the infamous steroid injection! Injecting harmful chemicals, such as steroids, should never be done. All steroidal injections, in our opinion, are an absolute waste of time, but a real moneymaker for many clinics and hospitals. Steroidal injections are not only wasting time but have also been the cause of rapid degeneration of the joint.
Simply put, it can cause more problems and future pain than the condition itself. If you have shoulder pain, you should not ignore your pain! Second, you should seek care from a team that specializes in non-surgical treatments.
If you go to a surgical center, their preferred method of treating you is a surgical procedure. They prefer surgery to all others, as it is what they are trained to do. Some clinics will prefer surgery to a non-surgical procedure, as it is significantly more profitable when compared to non-surgical means. Finally, a few surgical centers will prefer the surgical method as it requires less time as they can tend to more and more patients or that they lack the therapist or equipment needed for the non-surgical methods.

The 5 Best Homecare Remedies For A Painful Shoulder
- Limit activities involving the shoulder.
- For acute pain, Ice therapy for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times per day with 90 minutes breaks between icing.
- Consider moist heat therapy for chronic pain. Use moist heat if the pain is not due to an injury. Heat the area 15-20 minutes rest 1-2 hours and reapply heat again. Use heat therapy 2-3 times a day.
- Stretch your shoulder by gently pulling your arm across your chest and hold for 10-20 seconds, repeat 3-5 times. If pain increases, stop the stretch and apply ice for 15 minutes.
- Take over the counter anti-inflammatory meds. However, as with any medication, please consult your doctor first.
Icing a painful shoulder decreases swelling and pain. Heat relaxes the muscles and reduces pain. Icing is best if you have injured your shoulder or when there are inflammatory processes present within the shoulder joint. Moist heat is useful when there are spasmodic or tight shoulder muscles. For most, ice works best. Therefore, start your home remedy with ice therapy first. If the pain subsides, continue.
