The shoulder is a complex joint with a lot of range of motion. In everyday life, the shoulder is in constant use. Shoulder problems are therefore very annoying and can severely limit you.
In this article, you will read more about shoulder pain, its various causes and how it can lead to radiating symptoms in the arms and hands. Because symptoms in the shoulder are by no means always limited to the shoulder.
Shoulder problems often arise from overuse of the shoulder and the structures around it. Overuse can occur if you often do the same movement in succession (e.g., playing tennis and computer work), lift heavily, push heavily or work above your head.
In addition to overuse injuries, shoulder complaints can occur from osteoarthritis in the shoulder joint, neck pain, tension at home or at work or from a fall/accident. In addition, several nerves run through the shoulder region; these, too, can cause symptoms.
Complaints to the shoulder can be accompanied by radiating (pain) to the arm and hand. This radiating pain can originate in different structures.
One of these structures is the AC joint (acromioclavicular joint). This joint is located on top of the shoulder and is formed by the tip of the shoulder joint and the outer tip of the clavicle. Complaints in the AC joint can occur with osteoarthritis in this joint or when the joint is hypermobile.
In addition, radiating symptoms to the arm and hand can also occur when the neck no longer functions properly and a nerve is pinched, for example. Symptoms arise when the neck can no longer move properly in one or a few areas. Even though the symptoms originate in the neck, the symptoms often radiate. This can also cause symptoms to flare up in the shoulder, arm and hand.
Another common cause of radiating symptoms in the arm and hand are muscle knots. The so-called myofascial trigger points are often located around the shoulder and shoulder blade. Often the muscle knots themselves are sensitive and the pain radiates to surrounding areas.
Finally, common shoulder injuries are also often accompanied by symptoms in the arm and hand. Think of bursitis, tendonitis or a torn shoulder tendon.
As described above, there are several structures that could be the cause of the symptoms you are experiencing. The correct diagnosis can be made by your chiropractor with the help of an interview and a comprehensive physical examination.
