💪 Why Does Your Shoulder Hurt When You Reach Overhead?

Does your shoulder hurt when you reach for something on a high shelf, lift your arm, hang clothes, or exercise overhead? Don’t ignore persistent shoulder pain.

🔎 Common causes include:
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy
• Shoulder impingement
• Rotator cuff tear
• Frozen shoulder
• Shoulder arthritis
• Biceps tendon problems
• Previous shoulder injury or instability

⚠️ See an orthopedic specialist if your pain persists, you have difficulty raising your arm, notice weakness, experience night pain, or the symptoms started after an injury.

💡 Early diagnosis can help identify the cause and guide the right treatment—whether that involves physiotherapy, strengthening, activity modification, medication, or other treatment when needed.
