Understanding The Causes Of  Your Shoulder Pain

The shoulder consists of several joints that combine with tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in your arm. But, over time, mobility can begin to decrease. It can lead to problems with instability or impingement of the soft tissue or bony structures in the shoulder, resulting in pain. This could be temporary pain, but it could also be a continuous pain that eventually will need a medical diagnosis or treatment.*
