Shoulder Pain That Won't Go Away? What It Means and When to See a Physio in Wigan

Suffering with shoulder pain?

Nagging shoulder pain keeping you awake at night or stopping you from lifting at the gym?

You’re not alone — shoulder pain is one of the top reasons people in Wigan and Standish come to see us at 360 Healthcare Hub. And while it might seem like something that will just “go away,” persistent shoulder pain is often a sign that something deeper is going on.

Common Causes of Ongoing Shoulder Pain

1. Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

   • The most common cause of persistent shoulder pain.

   • Often due to overuse or poor posture.

   • Pain when lifting overhead or lying on the shoulder.

2. Shoulder Impingement

   • Caused by inflammation or pinching of soft tissue.

   • Leads to pain during certain ranges of motion.

3. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

   • Stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion.

   • Common in people over 40, especially women.

4. Referred Pain

   • Sometimes pain in the shoulder isn’t coming from the shoulder at all — it could be the neck or even your ribs.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

• Ongoing pain can lead to muscle weakness and compensation patterns.

• Early rehab prevents long-term restrictions.

• Ignoring it could mean longer recovery time later.
