When a person has shoulder pain every day simple activities can become painful. If you struggle with reaching or overhead activity, playing sport, doing regular household chores then it is time to get help! For the best shoulder pain treatment – Vaughan contact us here.
Causes of shoulder pain can depend on the persons’ age. For example, in young people instability of the shoulder is more common (dislocation or labral tear).
For people who are in their middle decades of life the rotator cuff tendons and shoulder bursa can be a leading cause of pain. The tendons can become irritated for different reasons such as a fall, postural strain, or degradation due to the aging process. Another common cause of shoulder pain for this age group is what we call a frozen shoulder. This condition can cause significant pain and loss of movement, and usually takes eight months to three years to resolve.
In the later decades of life arthritis is a common condition that causes discomfort and pain. This is the aging process where the shoulder becomes dysfunctional due to ‘wear and tear’.

- Rotator Cuff Tear: the rotator cuff is located on the front of your shoulder. It is a common insertional point for 4 tendons. These are important tendons as they help stabilize the shoulder during movement. An injury such as a fall can cause the tendons to tear. Alternatively, repetitive activity at work can degrade and eventually lead to tears. Age is also a risk factor for tears. They are more common in the mid to late decades of life.
