Shoulder pain often results from injuries to the skin, muscles, joints, or bones, which can occur during sports, manual labor, repetitive use, trauma, or improper exercise techniques. Specific symptoms depend on the underlying cause, which may include muscle strains, tendinitis, bursitis, nerve compression (such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cervical radiculopathy), fractures, dislocations, arthritis, heart problems (referred pain during a heart attack), infections, fibromyalgia, or pinched nerves. Seek medical attention if the pain is severe, persistent, follows an injury, or is accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of infection (redness, warmth, swelling).

Physical therapy for neck injuries and conditions typically involves a combination of interventions, including manual therapy techniques (such as mobilizations and manipulations), therapeutic exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and posture, modalities (such as heat, cold, or electrical stimulation), ergonomic education, relaxation techniques, and patient education on self-management strategies and injury prevention.
