CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN

The shoulder structure is a large and extensive joint, however generally people that consult with our Perth Chiropractors for Shoulder Pain, will experience shoulder pain in either the front, side or back of the shoulder. Unlike the hip however, the same diagnosis can cause pain in any of these regions.

Shoulder pain can be caused by various problems. The most common cause of shoulder pain is Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS). This condition generally occurs pressure or friction increases in the Subacromial space at the front of the shoulder. What results is in increase in inflammation and the potential for tendinopathy to develop with the adjacent muscles of the rotator cuff. Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS). Poor shoulder biomechanics with or without excessive overhead movement can lead to the development of SAPS.

As we just mentioned shoulder pain can also be due to rotator cuff tendinopathy. SAPS does not have to be present for rotator cuff tendinopathy to occur. Tendinopathy on a cellular structure is when there is increased breakdown of collagen, resulting in the tendon to have a reduction in flexibility and range of motion. Tendinopathy does not only occur in the shoulder. It can occur in many other structures within the body, and our Perth Chiropractors treat tendon pain and associated Tendinopathy on a regular basis.

These diagnosis are not nearly as common as the previously mentioned, however will always be considered by our Perth Chiropractors. The origin of of frozen shoulder is not well understood but there appears to be between a recent injury, such as a labral tear, with the addition of the patient having diabetes.
