Frequently Asked Questions
What are common causes of shoulder pain?
Although shoulder pain is very common, the causes of shoulder pain vary widely. There are a number of possible causes of shoulder pain, but the most common causes of shoulder pain are rotator cuff injuries, rotator cuff tears and osteoarthritis. Shoulder pain can also be caused by issues with the labrum, SLAP tears or cervical stenosis.
How does the rotator cuff cause shoulder pain?
The rotator cuff is a complex series of muscles and tendons around the shoulder that help lift the arm and stabilize the ball in the socket (the shoulder joint). The tendon of the muscle can become worn as we age and this can lead to tears as this area loses blood supply.
What is cervical stenosis?
Pain in the shoulder can also come from the neck. Cervical stenosis, a condition where neck arthritis can press on nerves, can cause severe pain in the shoulder.
What are SLAP tears?
Shoulder pain might also be caused by bicep problems. The biceps tendon can become damaged or begin to pull off it’s anchor point, known as the superior labral attachment, or SLA. This is commonly referred to as a SLAP tear.
How does the labrum cause shoulder pain?
The labrum in the shoulder is the lip around the socket of the ball and socket joint. This structure acts as a guide to help keep the ball of the shoulder joint in good position when the rotator cuff can’t do the job. The labrum can degenerate as we get older, making it vulnerable to traumatic injury and a source for deep-seated shoulder pain.
