As promised The Painful Shoulder (Part 1)! We have formulated a question and answer episode on common shoulder trends found in the clinic. Shoulder pain may present as something complicated and confusing, but contrary to belief it is much more simple than clinicians realize. We give explanations about certain conditions and misconceptions that we commonly see in clinic. We hope this episode will give you insight to what to expect and how to handle those common shoulder problems. Below are references to information that we mention in today's podcast.
