Although shoulder pain is a very annoying condition that makes it impossible to carry out daily activities normally, we can relieve it naturally and without resorting to taking drugs.

The shoulder pain is a very annoying situation and debilitating as the articulation of this allows us to interact with the environment effectively.

There are several types of injuries that can cause pain, inflammation and paralysis of movement. Also, inflammation can become chronic if we don’t treat it in time.

First of all, you need to know that shoulder pain is more common than you think and, more importantly, that it can be fixed. There are circumstances in which it is necessary to seek medical attention when dealing with dislocations and fractures. These two situations are generally due to trauma suffered in that area.

Common pathologies and causes of shoulder pain

The most common conditions related to shoulder pain include:

• Arthrosis
• Arthritis
• Tendinitis
• Calcifications in the tendons

Similarly, there are a number of problems that can lead to this disorder:

Dislocation

Dislocation or dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus (arm bone) is forced out of the shoulder cavity. This can occur as a product of overexertion, sprains or blows.

When the ligaments, tendons, and muscles surrounding the shoulder are fatigued or worn, repeated dislocations can occur.  These cause pain and instability if you lift your arm or move forward.

Bursitis

Serous bursae act as pads that reduce friction between muscles and bones.

Overuse of the shoulder can lead to inflammation of the serous bursae, causing pain and impairing the performance of daily activities such as combing and dressing.

Tendinitis

Tendons are made up of connective tissue fibers and have the function of binding muscles and bones. Tendonitis, or inflammation of a tendon, usually occurs when repetitive exercises are performed without adequate posture; it can also be associated with other traumas, such as sprains.

Fracture

Fractures are the result of a broken bone. They generally occur as a result of falls suffered by the person or high impact injuries, such as sports or road accidents. They cause severe pain and severe inflammation.

Osteoarthritis

It usually develops due to a progressive wear of the joints; however, it is usually associated with that of muscles and tendons as well as with infections. It manifests itself through inflammation, pain and stiffness.

Rheumatoid arthritis

It is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints. It manifests with pain, swelling, redness and deformation.

Some tips to prevent pain

• You must never exceed the capabilities of your body. If you notice that what you want to lift or carry involves a major effort on your part, it is best to ask for help.
• Be careful when you go to the gym. It is often believed that as you lift more weight, your muscles will strengthen faster. Everything has to be progressive if you don’t want to injure yourself.
• Practice regular exercises to improve the functioning of your whole body, preventing the possibility of getting hurt easily.

You have to move each body segment before starting any activity, in order to warm up; if you don’t, you are more likely to harm yourself. Also remember to do some stretches before and after physical activity.
