Shoulder Injury and Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder Injuries are a common problem for those doctors who see athletes or sports men and women.
The shoulder is a very mobile joint and a shoulder injury can be sustained during a fall or during a throwing action or a tackle in football in rugby.
The challenge for the doctor or physical therapist is to figure out which part of the shoulder anatomy has been injured? The underlying problem might lie in the shoulder muscles, the tendons that join the muscles to the bone, the bursa or within the joint itself.
Injury to the shoulder can trigger a tear in the joint capsule or in the labrum - the tissue that deepens the socket that the head of the humerus sits in.
