Shoulder Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes inflammation of the bones and soft tissues of the joints which causes the bones within the shoulder to rub together. While most people have heard of Knee Arthritis and Hip Arthritis, Osteoarthritis within the shoulder is also very common and can cause pain and symptoms similar to Knee and Hip Arthritis. Shoulder Osteoarthritis often affects the older population but can also be the result of a prior shoulder injury or repeated dislocations of the shoulder.
