Ayurvedic treatment for shoulder pain involves herbal remedies, therapeutic oils, and personalized lifestyle recommendations to provide relief.
Swelling, damage, or bone changes around the rotator cuff in your shoulder can cause pain that puts a kink in the activities of your life. Let’s talk about shoulder pain. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that attach to the bones of your shoulder joint. The group allows your shoulder to move and keep it stable. The most common cause of shoulder pain is when rotator cuff tendons become inflamed or trapped in your shoulder. This is called rotator cuff tendinitis, or irritation of these tendons and inflammation of the bursa, small slippery fluid filled sacs that the tendons glide over. A rotator cuff tear, when one of the tendons is torn from overuse or injury, can also cause intense shoulder pain. Other causes of shoulder pain can include arthritis, bone spurs – bony projections, a broken shoulder bone, frozen shoulder, when the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your shoulder become stiff, and shoulder dislocation.
Shoulder pain can result from a spectrum of causes, ranging from common conditions like rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, and bursitis to more complex issues such as frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis, fractures, and dislocations. Additionally, nerve impingements, inflammatory disorders, and overuse injuries can contribute to discomfort in the shoulder region. Poor posture and muscle imbalances are often implicated, exacerbating the vulnerability to pain. Understanding the nuanced interplay of these factors is essential for accurate diagnosis and the development of targeted treatment strategies, ensuring effective relief and rehabilitation for individuals experiencing shoulder pain.
