Osteoarthritis deforms the shoulder joint, eventually causing pain, restriction of movement and a feeling of blocking. The pain is often continuous and increases after load and with changes in weather.

When the tendons of the shoulder become chronically wedged between the roof of the shoulder and the upper arm, we speak of an entrapment (impingement) of the shoulder. This causes pain in the upper arm.

Tendon calcification is the deposition of calcium crystals (calcification) in one of the tendons of the rotator cuff located around the head of the shoulder. Impaired blood flow causes the cells to be improperly urged to form calcium.

Biceps tendinopathy is an inflammation of the long biceps tendon, the tendon that connects the biceps muscle upward to the shoulder joint. It usually results from overuse where irritation and wear and tear processes occur. In the process, the damaged tissue in the tendon is unable to repair in time, leading to chronic inflammation.

The clavicular joint is the joint between the acromion (part of the shoulder roof) and the clavicle (collarbone). A dislocation usually results from direct trauma to the shoulder.

A frozen shoulder is a condition of the shoulder joint. It results from inflammation of the capsule causing it to shorten, resulting in pain and restriction of movement.
