What is Shoulder Pain? Shoulder pain is pain that arises in the shoulder region that can contribute to muscle imbalances, Neck problems, thoracic spine dysfunction, and scapulohumeral dysrhythmia
Anatomy of the Shoulder Shoulder is made up of three bones Humerus: your upper arm bone Scapula: your shoulder blade Clavicle: your collarbone The humerus fits into a rounded socket in your shoulder blade (the glenoid) Combination of muscles and tendons make up the rotator cuff which attaches humerus to shoulder blade
How does it affect the body? Pain in the top and outer side of your shoulder Pain that's worse when you lift your arm especially above your head Pain or aching at night, which can affect your sleep Weakness in your arm
