I aim to share insight into how I approach shoulder pain. This material may not apply to every individual and should not be used to make a diagnosis or begin treatment. It should not take the place of advice from a qualified health care professional. As this site notes, the history and physical examination are essential to reaching an accurate diagnosis. That can only happen through a face-to-face visit with an experienced medical provider.
Every effort is made to keep this site as current and accurate as possible. However, no one can keep pace with the ever changing field of orthopedics.
