Understanding Shoulder Flexion Pain

Shoulder flexion pain refers to discomfort and limitation of movement experienced when lifting the arm or reaching forward. It can occur due to various underlying conditions, including muscle imbalances, rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, tendinitis, or arthritis.

Importance of Seeking Professional Help

When dealing with shoulder flexion pain, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist, who specializes in musculoskeletal disorders. They can accurately diagnose the cause of your shoulder flexion pain and create a personalized treatment plan for you.

  • Avoid repetitive overhead movements or sudden excessive force on the shoulders.
