Stiff Shoulder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
"Stiff shoulder" describes a loss of shoulder mobility accompanied by pain, which limits the usual movements of the joint.
How it shows up: Growing difficulty raising the arm, reaching for objects or performing everyday gestures, along with discomfort or pain.
Common causes: It can be due to inflammation, injuries or changes in the structures of the shoulder, which differ from person to person.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon, and in some cases the hand surgeon, assesses the state of the shoulder joint. If the stiffness and pain affect your daily life or do not ease over time, it's worth raising it at a visit for an appropriate evaluation.
