The shoulder joint is the most mobile in the human body. And, like other joints, it is capable of withstanding significant loads. This is why we can lift weights and perform many manual actions both in everyday life and during training.

But suddenly shoulder pain appears, which ruins all our plans. Where does it come from and what to do with it? Let’s figure it out.
What causes pain in the shoulder joint?
- Errors in training: not warm up enough, did not calculate the load, pulled a shoulder during stretching, performed a bench press, swing or turn unsuccessfully or too sharply.
- Incorrectly selected exercises. Beloved by many, CrossFit is characterized by “explosive”, sharp and very intense movements. And this may not be suitable for everyone.Barbell or dumbbell presses should also be selected carefully to avoid the effect of accumulation of fatigue in the joint-ligamentous apparatus and stretching and injury to the joint capsule of the shoulder.
- Diseases of the shoulder joint. There are quite a lot of them: tendonitis, brachial neuritis (plexitis), bursitis, arthritis, shoulder arthrosis.
Why do shoulders hurt, how to treat pain in the shoulder joints:
How to treat a shoulder?
To solve problems, you should consult a doctor (preferably a sports doctor). Self-medication is absolutely not worth it. It is almost impossible to understand the cause of pain on your own. After all, pain in the shoulder can also be caused by angina pectoris, calcification of ligaments and tendons, pneumonia, and osteochondrosis of the cervical spine. Also, the cause of pain in the shoulder joint can be a genetic predisposition, metabolic disorders, and poor diet.
Joints can be saved!
Shoulder injuries can be prevented!This requires a balanced diet, high-quality warm-up of at least 10-15 minutes, and adherence to the exercise technique. If inflammation is detected in the shoulder joint, then all exercises that involve the shoulder should be discontinued until recovery. No jerking, pushing, twisting, loading, pumping, or, indeed, exercising through pain!
Restoring shoulder functionality
If an injury occurs, you should give preference to rehabilitation exercises. Moreover, they must be performed carefully and smoothly. Excessive zeal will only lead to complications. We increase the weight gradually. Recovery exercises for shoulder injuries
Light warm-up massages and rubbing with Deep-Relief, Traumeel S and Vertebronol ointments are suitable to help with recovery. Rehabilitation for injuries to the shoulder joint always takes place individually, depending on the severity of the injury and the characteristics of the body. But in any case, this is a slow process.The main thing is not to rush to return to your usual load regime and increase lost volumes, otherwise recovery will take even longer. Take care of yourself! Train smart!
