Shoulder Injury
Shoulder Injury Overview
Shoulder injuries are common conditions that affect the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones surrounding the shoulder. They can occur due to sports activities, repetitive movements, accidents, poor posture, or age-related wear and tear. Common shoulder injuries include rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, dislocations, tendonitis, and ligament strains. Shoulder injuries may cause pain, weakness, and restricted movement, making everyday tasks difficult.
Causes of Shoulder Injury
Shoulder injuries may occur due to:
Sports-related trauma or impact
Repetitive overhead movements
Falls or accidents
Muscle or ligament strain
Poor posture
Heavy lifting or sudden movements
Overuse of shoulder muscles
Diagnosis of Shoulder Injury
Diagnosis begins with a detailed assessment of symptoms, medical history, and a physical examination. Specialists evaluate shoulder movement, strength, stability, and pain location. Depending on the condition, imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasound, MRI scans, or CT scans may be recommended to identify tendon injuries, muscle tears, ligament damage, joint problems, or fractures. Early diagnosis helps create an effective treatment plan and supports recovery.
