What's Causing Your Shoulder Problem?
Understanding your shoulder issue is the first step to the right treatment
Sudden Injury
Sports-related shoulder pain, overhead activity injury, or acute trauma? These acute injuries often respond well to conservative treatment.
Gradual Onset
Pain that developed slowly over months or years? This suggests degenerative conditions like rotator cuff wear or arthritis.
