Elbow & Shoulder

Shoulder and elbow pain is quite common and is caused by many factors, including the fact that we use our arms for so many different activities on a near-constant basis. Without proper treatment, however, elbow and shoulder pain can progress and cause significant functional problems.

One of the major causes of shoulder pain is arthritis, a condition in which cartilage is worn away and the protective lining between the bones is diminished. This causes painful bone-on-bone friction which, in turn, restricts movement. Other causes of shoulder and elbow pain are injuries that result in strains and fractures.
