Understanding your shoulder pain: Your shoulder is a “bal l -and-socket joint,” meaning that the humerus (head of the upper arm bone) fits perfectly in the corresponding space within the scapula (shoulder blade). Each end of the bone is protected by a thick layer of car ti lage that prevents the bones from rubbing together. Your shoulders can accompl ish several physical feats due to their structure - however, this also means that they are susceptible to an increased risk of injury because of the i r compl ex i ty . I f somethi ng becomes damaged in the make-up of the shoulders, pain and discomfort can develop. This pain may range from a dul l ache to shooting pains, depending on the severity of the condition. If your pain is stemming from tendon impingement , i t wi l l general ly occur as you l ift your arm, fading before it is raised completely skyward. If your pain is a result of shoulder degeneration, it is likely that you will feel persistent aches every time you move your arm in certain directions. Pain from an acute injury can be sudden and intense, making it difficult for you to move your shoulder at al l .
Did you know that your shoulders are your most flexible and movable joints? Your shoulders have to move through an incredible 180 degrees of motion, whi le st i l l maintaining stabi l i ty and strength. The shoulder joint acts l ike a bal l in a very shal low socket that is part of the shoulder blade. Some of the most impor tant muscles in the rotator cuff are actual ly the smal lest. The rotator cuff is made up of 4 muscles that are smal l , but vital to keeping the bal l stable in the socket. When these muscles are weak or injured, the bal l can jam up into the socket of the shoulder blade, causing inflammation and pain. Your shoulders are extremely complex, comp r i sed o f mu l t i p l e musc l es , tendons, and bones. They provide you with the mobi l ity you need to perform many of your tasks throughout the day.
