Restore Strength and Comfort: Shoulder Pain Treatment in Franklin, TN
What Is Shoulder Pain and Rotator Cuff Tear?
Shoulder pain is often caused by irritation or injury to the muscles, tendons, or ligaments that stabilize the shoulder joint. One of the most common injuries is a rotator cuff tear, which occurs when the tendons that surround the shoulder become frayed or torn. These injuries may develop gradually from repetitive movement or suddenly due to trauma. Pain can range from mild discomfort to severe stiffness that limits motion and strength. Regenerative medicine promotes healing within these tissues, reducing inflammation and helping patients regain shoulder stability and flexibility.
Signs & Symptoms of Shoulder Pain and Rotator Cuff Tear
- Pain when lifting or rotating the arm
- Stiffness or weakness in the shoulder joint
- Clicking or popping sounds with movement
- Pain that worsens at night or while lying on the affected side
- Limited range of motion or difficulty reaching overhead
What Causes Shoulder Pain and Rotator Cuff Tears?
- Overuse or Repetitive Motion: Continuous strain from sports, exercise, or work-related activity can damage shoulder tendons.
- Trauma or Injury: Sudden falls or accidents can cause partial or complete tendon tears.
- Age-Related Degeneration: Tendons weaken over time, making them more prone to inflammation or tearing.
- Poor Posture: Misalignment of the shoulders or neck can contribute to tension and chronic pain.
- Arthritis or Inflammation: Joint inflammation can lead to stiffness and limit shoulder mobility.
