My Shoulder Clicks
Shoulder clicking sounds can have various causes. It’s important to observe whether there’s pain, when it occurs, and when it started.
When Should You Be Concerned?
Clicking with Pain
When clicking is accompanied by pain, it may indicate tendon damage or inflammation.
Recently Started Clicking
If clicking appeared after injury or certain movements, it may be an early signal of structural problems.
Range of Motion Decreasing
If shoulder movement range is gradually decreasing, accurate diagnosis is needed.
Possible Causes
- Impingement syndrome: Bone and tendon collide during movement, creating sounds.
- Labral injury: Damage to the cartilage ring around the joint can cause clicking.
- Bursitis: Inflamed bursa creates friction sounds.
- Muscle imbalance: Imbalanced shoulder surrounding muscles can cause movement misalignment.
If There’s No Pain
If clicking has been present for a long time without pain and range of motion is fine, it’s often not a big problem. However, if pain develops or range of motion decreases, examination is needed.
Circulation Therapy Corrects Movement Patterns
- Circulation HD: Reduces inflammation and releases adhesed areas.
- Circulation PT: Balances shoulder muscles and corrects movement patterns.
