The human shoulder is made up of a shoulder joint and different muscles, tendons and ligaments. The bones that constitute a shoulder joint are humerus, clavicle and scapula. It is one of the largest joints of the body that accommodates a wide range of movements. This complex joint is highly movable but is also one of the most unstable joints in the body. Any pain arising in the shoulder joint or the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons is called shoulder pain. It can be attended with stiffness, swelling and restricted movement of shoulder depending on the cause behind it. 
Homeopathic Treatment
Homeopathic medicines for shoulder pain provide relief by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. For long-term relief in shoulder pain, the cause needs to be treated and homeopathic medicines relieve shoulder pain by following the same rule. Once the cause is addressed, the pain reduces and also any swelling or stiffness (if present) gets better. Other than the pain, homeopathic medicines help manage accompanying symptoms like stiffness, swelling, and tenderness. They further aim at decreasing any inflammation and help heal the muscles, tendons, and ligaments by encouraging natural healing within the body. These natural medicines for shoulder pain are made from natural substances and do not cause any side effects.

Causes Of Shoulder Pain
1. Frozen Shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis): It refers to pain and stiffness in shoulder joint from thickening and tightening of capsule that encloses shoulder joint. Keeping shoulder still for a prolonged time period (like in case of fracture in arm, when recovering from a surgery) is a major risk factor for frozen shoulder.
2. Rotator cuff injury: Rotator cuff refers to collection of muscles and tendons which offer stability to shoulder and also help in its movement. Its injury includes inflammation of its tendons (rotator cuff tendinitis), strains (these occur from overuse and wear and tear of muscles) and tear of tendons (either partial or complete)
3. Tendinitis and Tendon tear: Tendinitis means inflamed tendons (tissue bands that connect muscle to a bone). An injury or degeneration in tendons of shoulders (rotator cuff tendons are commonly injured tendons) can lead to tendon tear. The tear may be partial or complete.
4. Impingement syndrome: Pinching of tendons of rotator cuff in shoulder bones
5. Sprain in shoulder: Twisting of ligaments (tissue bands that connect one bone to another bone) of shoulders
6. Shoulder Bursitis (subacromial bursitis): Bursa refers to fluid-filled sac in joint that reduce friction in joint structures to allow smooth movement of joint. Shoulder bursitis results when this bursa gets inflamed. It may happen from an injury or joint inflammation.
7. Shoulder Arthritis: It refers to inflamed shoulder joint. It may occur from osteoarthritis (degenerative changes in joints usually from age-related wear and tear or sometimes from an injury). It may also result from rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disorder characterized by swollen, inflamed, painful, stiff joints) and septic arthritis (serious joint infection caused by bacteria or virus).
8. Overuse or repetitive use of shoulder leading to an injury
9. Bone spurs: Extra bony growths projecting along edge of bone
10. Bone Fracture in shoulder or dislocated shoulder
11. Nerve pinching in neck or shoulder
12. Referred pain: In some cases, shoulder pain occurs from a problem in a body part other than the shoulder itself, for example problem in liver, or gallbladder. It is known as referred pain.
