Key risk factors and information about shoulder pain.
The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Tears can happen from injury or gradual wear. Symptoms include pain with overhead reaching and weakness lifting the arm.
Also called adhesive capsulitis. The shoulder capsule thickens and tightens, severely limiting range of motion. Most common in people aged 40-60, especially after prolonged immobilization.
Occurs when rotator cuff tendons are pinched during arm elevation. Causes a painful arc of motion, especially between 60 and 120 degrees. Often responds well to physical therapy.
Surgery is typically considered after 3-6 months of failed conservative treatment, for large or complete rotator cuff tears, recurrent dislocations, or significant structural damage confirmed on MRI.
For most shoulder conditions, structured physical therapy is the first-line treatment. Strengthening the rotator cuff and scapular muscles can resolve pain and restore function without surgery.
Shoulder arthritis causes progressive pain and stiffness. When conservative measures fail, shoulder replacement surgery can dramatically reduce pain and improve quality of life.
