Experiencing Right Shoulder Pain? Here Are Possible Causes and Tips for Relief

The shoulder joint supports a wide range of movement, which also makes it prone to strain. For those who use their right hand for most daily activities, the right shoulder often ends up doing more work, be it lifting bags, reaching overhead, or performing repeated motions.

In some cases, the pain may even extend towards the neck, upper back, or down the arm.
