The Shoulder: How Much Do You Know About Shoulder Pain?
While there are many different causes of shoulder injuries -- from playing racquet sports to shoveling snow to lifting a heavy suitcase -- the majority of injuries affect just four different structures. Unfortunately, all too often the standard assessment techniques are inconclusive, and people live with the pain for weeks, months, or even years before receiving appropriate treatment.
