  • Shoulder Arthritis

    Shoulder Arthritis

    Shoulder arthritis can cause persistent shoulder pain, stiffness, grinding sensations, and loss of motion that affects work, exercise, sleep, and everyday activities. As cartilage within the shoulder joint gradually wears away, even simple movements such as reaching overhead, lifting objects, or getting dressed may become increasingly difficult.

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

    Rotator Cuff Tear

    Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain, weakness, loss of motion, and difficulty performing everyday activities. Simple movements such as reaching overhead, lifting objects, dressing, or sleeping on the affected side may become painful and frustrating.

  • Labrum Tear

    Labrum Tear

    A labral tear can cause shoulder pain, clicking, instability, weakness, and difficulty performing overhead activities. Athletes, active individuals, and patients with shoulder dislocations commonly experience labral injuries, although tears may also develop gradually through repetitive use.

Because the shoulder is one of the body’s most mobile joints, injuries and degenerative conditions may lead to pain, weakness, stiffness, instability, and reduced function.
