Inflammation in the shoulder: Symptoms, causes, and treatment
Shoulder inflammation is a common problem that can cause pain and limited mobility. This article reviews the most common symptoms, causes, and treatment options for shoulder inflammation.
What is Inflammation in the Shoulder?
Shoulder inflammation means that the shoulder joint becomes swollen, red, and tender. The condition can be caused by overuse, injury, or infection. Treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy.
Inflammation can occur in various structures of the shoulder, including tendons, muscle attachments, bursitis of the shoulder , or in the shoulder joint itself. It can be both acute and long-term inflammation that affects the mobility and function of the shoulder. Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a specific condition in which inflammation of the shoulder joint leads to severely reduced mobility.
Symptoms of shoulder inflammation
Several factors can contribute to inflammation in the shoulder:
- Overexertion or repetitive strain
- Trauma or fall to the shoulder
- Impingement of structures in the shoulder
- Age-related changes
- Monotonous movements for a long time

Causes of shoulder inflammation
Several factors can contribute to inflammation in the shoulder:
- Overexertion or repetitive strain
- Trauma or fall to the shoulder
- Impingement of structures in the shoulder
- Age-related changes
- Monotonous movements for a long time
Bursitis is a common cause of shoulder inflammation, especially in people who repeat the same movement for long periods of time. Impingement means that the soft tissues in the shoulder become pinched, causing irritation and inflammation. Overuse of the muscles around the shoulder can also lead to inflammation of the muscles and tendons, which often affects athletes or people with physically demanding jobs.
