How to Treat a Sore Shoulder

Download Quickly

A sore shoulder is a relatively common problem among both men and women of all ages. Shoulder soreness can be caused by muscle strains, ligament sprains, joint dislocations and even mid back or neck issues. The most common reasons for developing a sore shoulder are exercising too hard, sports injuries and work-related mishaps.

Most sore shoulders are self-limiting and fade away within a week — sometimes quicker if you take care of it at home appropriately; however, sometimes sore shoulders need professional help for complete resolution.
