Bursitis of the shoulder joint is due to chronic overuse and friction rub of the bursae. Over time, this leads to inflammation and reduced movements of the shoulder.
Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement is due to narrowing of the space in our shoulder, causing pinching of our supraspinatus muscle. Some common causes are overuse and poor posture.
Rotator Cuff Tear
Our shoulder is stabilized by our rotator cuff muscles. Bursitis, trauma or shoulder impingement can all lead to fraying of the muscles.
Shoulder Instability
Previous traumas to the shoulder can lead to chronic unstable shoulder joint. This can be further exacerbated if the shoulder is overused and rehab inappropriately after the previous injury.
Lungs, Liver, Gallbladder, Heart Issues
Problems in our internal organ can also mask as an innocuous shoulder pain.
