The shoulder is unique in both structure and function. Injuries can occur acutely or overtime from wear and tear. If a patient presents with shoulder pain, when do you order imaging? What is role of steroid injections? When should a patient apply ice or apply heat? Dr. Christopher Camp, an orthopedist from Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at the Mayo Clinic joins us to discuss common injuries broken down by age demographic, treatment options, and when you may need to refer to a surgeon.  

 The following topics are discussed: 

• Anatomy of the shoulder joint and what makes it a unique joint. 

• Rotator cuff injuries
