More on Shoulder Arthritis
Arthritis to the shoulder is usually triggered by an injury such as a dislocation or separation that has not healed properly. In these cases or even in the cases of past surgical intervention, connection soft tissues--the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, have not completely healed or have become overstretched (ligament and tendon laxity).

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder impingement syndrome involves one or a combination of problems: inflammation of the bursa located just over the rotator cuff, inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons, (tendinitis), or calcium deposits in tendons—called calcific tendonitis, (caused by wear and tear or injury.) The main problem is usually that the acromium or a bone spur puts pressure on the supraspinatus tendon.

Shoulder Dislocations
Sometimes the bones in the shoulder joint slip out of normal alignment or are forced out by injury-subluxation and dislocation. For those individuals who suffer from chronic shoulder instability, dislocations may occur frequently.

Chronic Shoulder Instability Syndrome
Chronic shoulder instability syndrome results from trauma caused by subluxations, dislocations, from less detectable micro-trauma caused by repetitive strain on the tissues, or from congenitally loose shoulder joints.

Shoulder Separation
I had a 4th degree shoulder separation accident from a bicycle ride, I had surgery on it. I have full range of motion but the bone does stick out. But occasionally I have aches from it and it feels like it almost feels like it is “asleep,” there is a strange deadness feeling in it.

Conservative Treatment of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Researchers writing in the medical journal Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy: official journal of the ESSKA, compared the effectiveness of two physical therapy treatment approaches for shoulder impingement syndrome, either by joint and soft tissue mobilization techniques or by a self-training program.
