Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder injuries are very common to both the athletic and non-athletic population. One reason (already mentioned), is that the shoulder is the most mobile and complex joint in the body. It is a ball and socket joint that moves in 6 different planes of motion. Because of this mobility, there are many different positions the shoulder can get itself into upon injuring it, either acutely with a fall, or chronically with overuse. Some of the most common shoulder conditions are:
- Rotator Cuff tear
- Labrum tear
- Calcific tendonitis /Osis / Bursitis
- Shoulder dislocation (which may also injure the labrum and/or rotator cuff)
