Understanding Shoulder Pain and Injury
Myofascial release is a form of therapy designed to relieve chronic and acute pain through special, targeted massage that aims to reduce tightness within the fascia, a sheet of connective tissue below the surface of the skin. Tightness within the fascia can restrict a patient‘s range of motion or cause the patient to favor one side of the body. The goal of myofascial release is to relieve pain and allow the patient to regain range of motion.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can originate from various causes. Understanding these can help in seeking timely intervention:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: These involve tears or strains in the rotator cuff muscles, often due to overuse or acute injury, resulting in pain and restricted movement.
- Shoulder Bursitis: This condition is characterized by inflammation of the bursa, a cushioning sac in the shoulder, usually triggered by repetitive motion.
- Tendinitis: Common among individuals engaging in repetitive overhead activities, this involves inflammation of shoulder tendons.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Known for causing stiffness and pain, this condition can severely limit your shoulder’s range of motion.
- Impingement Syndrome: This occurs when shoulder tendons are compressed, leading to pain and irritation.
Recognizing Symptoms
Identifying shoulder pain symptoms early can prevent further complications. Be vigilant for the following signs:
- Persistent or sharp pain in the shoulder area
- Reduced range of motion or stiffness
- Swelling, redness, or warmth around the shoulder
- Weakness or numbness in the arm or hand
- Sensations of clicking or popping during movement
