What is causing your shoulder pain?
There are many different factors and conditions that can contribute to your shoulder pain. The most common is the rotator cuff because it allows your shoulder to rotate and move. Sometimes shoulder pain is the result of injury to another location of the body. This could be a type of referred pain, which usually does not get worse when you move your shoulder.
There are just so many ways to injure your shoulder, but how should you go about treating your shoulder pain?
