Our shoulder is the largest and most movable joint in the body. It‘s composed of vital bones that support mobility, including the shoulder blade, upper arm bone, and collarbone. Many structures in the shoulder help the joint to support a broad range of motion. The rotator cuff, for example, allows for better mobility. The tendons and muscles are protected by the bursa or a sack of fluid that ensures the joint structure is in good condition.

However, there are instances in which a patient experiences shoulder pain after intense physical activity, especially sports that include moving the shoulder joint frequently than they are normally used. Falls, car accidents, frequent slouching, arthritis, and frozen shoulder can lead to shoulder pain.
