There are several possible causes of shoulder internal rotation pain, including:

  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Torn or inflamed tendons
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome
  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
  • Muscle imbalances or weaknesses
  • Overuse or repetitive strain injuries

Symptoms and Diagnosis

The most common symptoms associated with shoulder internal rotation pain include:

  • Pain or discomfort when rotating the shoulder internally
  • Weakness or reduced range of motion
  • Tenderness or swelling in the shoulder

To accurately diagnose the cause of your shoulder pain, it is important to seek professional evaluation from a chiropractor or physical therapist. They will conduct a thorough examination and may order diagnostic tests such as X-rays or MRI scans to determine the underlying cause.
