So what is the cause of shoulder pain? The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a good understanding of this problem. When it comes to improving it, you will also know what to do and how to improve these conditions.

What causes shoulder pain:

Shoulder pain is directly related to the cervical spine

The characteristics of cervical spondylosis are: stiffness, discomfort, pain, soreness, and inflexibility of neck movement.

When turning the neck, there is a clicking sound. If it is not adjusted, it will cause cervical spondylosis.

Because the local symptoms of cervical spondylosis are mild, some people even have no neck symptoms at all; many patients with cervical spondylosis show symptoms of other systemic diseases, which can easily be confused with other diseases.

Frequent sitting for a long time always keeps the cervical spine and shoulders in the same position, causing cervical spondylosis (many people don’t know that they already have cervical spondylosis).

When there is cervical spondylosis: the nerve roots are stimulated or compressed and these symptoms will occur:

Pain or numbness in the neck, shoulder, or chest. If not treated in time, cervical spondylosis will be further aggravated. It will be persistent or paroxysmal and radiate to the shoulders, upper limbs, arms, and fingers. It may be accompanied by acupuncture-like (needle-like) or electric-like numbness, numbness, soreness, distension, and ant-like numbness. The pain and numbness may be aggravated when the neck is moved or coughed, sneezed, or exerted a little force.

When cervical spondylosis worsens, there may be phenomena such as atrophy, heaviness, soreness, weakness, and inflexibility of the upper limb muscles. The neck, shoulders, and upper limbs may hurt more severely at night, and you may toss and turn and be unable to sleep.

Due to the stimulation and compression of the cervical spinal cord, the spinal cord is deprived of blood supply, which can cause numbness in multiple parts of the body (shoulders, arms, and fingers).

If it is more serious, it will continue to spread downward to the waist: waist pain, waist weakness, waist and knee weakness, etc.

Towards the buttocks: sciatica, fear of sitting for long periods of time, numbness and pain, especially when sleeping

Spreading to the legs and calves: Numbness in the legs, which is relieved by activity

To the feet: The feet are afraid of cold, which will lead to poor peripheral nerve circulation.

If you move a little, the blood circulation will be faster and the symptoms will be alleviated, because the compression of cervical spondylosis will compress the nerves and blood vessels, making the blood vessels unobstructed and the meridians blocked.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of what shoulder pain is. Therefore, when these situations occur, we must be careful and not improve them at will. We must choose appropriate methods according to our own situation. Moreover, when improving shoulder pain, we must do it every day to achieve good results.
