Treatment for shoulder pain
Symptoms and Body Signals
If you’re experiencing shoulder pain, you might notice:
- A dull ache or sharp pain, especially when raising your arm
- Stiffness or limited range of motion
- Weakness in the arm or shoulder
- Pain that worsens at night or when lying on the affected side
These symptoms are your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not right here!” You may find everyday tasks like combing your hair or reaching behind your back challenging. While these signals can be frustrating, they’re your body’s attempt to protect itself from further harm. Conditions like impingement syndrome, calcific tendinitis, or frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) might be behind these symptoms.
Causes
The leading cause of shoulder pain is often one-sided movements resulting in excessive tension in your muscles and fasciae. Several factors contribute to this tension:
- Poor posture, especially prolonged sitting with rounded shoulders
- Repetitive overhead movements (common in certain sports or jobs)
- Muscular imbalances due to uneven workout routines
- Age-related wear and tear (though not inevitable!)
- Lack of movement variety in daily activities
- Stress and tension held in the shoulder and neck area
Modern lifestyle factors, like hours spent hunched over computers or smartphones, can significantly impact shoulder health. These habits can lead to muscle shortening and fascial restrictions, potentially causing issues like impingement syndrome or frozen shoulder over time.

Additional Important Information
It’s crucial to understand that shoulder pain isn’t always about structural damage. In many cases, it’s your body’s protective response to perceived threats. This “signal pain” can often be addressed without invasive procedures or long-term medication use. By focusing on reducing muscular-fascial tensions through specific exercises and treatments, many people find significant relief and improved function, even in cases of conditions like frozen shoulder or calcific tendinitis that are often considered stubborn or slow to heal.
