Shoulder & Elbow

There are a number of causes for shoulder and elbow pain, including arthritis and injury from trauma or fracture, repetitive motions, and sports or work-related activities.

Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of pain in the shoulder and elbow joints. As arthritis develops, the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones in a joint can wear away. Without the protective cartilage lining, the bones of the joints rub against each other, which is a major source of pain. Severe shoulder and elbow arthritis can also inhibit movement.
