Shoulder Pain

The shoulder joints are complex, however, they have the capability to provide remarkable mobility. If you’re experiencing shoulder pain due to an auto accident or sports injury, the discomfort can reduce your range of motion and lower your quality of life. At Ringer Chiropractic in Tracy, CA, we offer various treatments that can ease your symptoms and improve your overall health.

Understanding the Shoulder Joint

The shoulder is among the most versatile and movable joints in the body. Along with that, the shoulder joint offers an incredible range of motion created by a group of muscles and tendons known as the rotator cuff. Each shoulder consists of the following:

  • Acromioclavicular joint, which connects the shoulder blade and collarbone
  • Glenohumeral joint, which connects the shoulder socket and upper arm bone

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can happen at any time, however, the symptoms and pain tend to get worse at night when the joints stiffen and hormone levels drop naturally. The pain may be sharp, dull, and increase with movement. Some common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Arthritis
  • Tendonitis
  • Dislocation
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Rotator cuff injury
  • Sprain or strain
  • Pinched nerves
