Many of us take for granted the complexity and ingenious design of the human body. One particular area that is particularly intricate is the shoulder joint and area surrounding it. As one of the most commonly injured joints on the human body it can be a tricky and long ranging treatment plan that will have the average shoulder injury back to regular and effective operation.
Consisting of a ball and socket design the shoulder is the one joint in the body that is able to offer the most movement and motion. Surrounding this seemingly simplistic ball and socket is a web of muscles, tendons and nerves that all play a dynamic part in offering the human body such a range of motion. When we tear one of these muscles or tendons it can result in amazing pain and a life of restrictive movement in doing sometimes the most menial of tasks.

Some of the most common forms of shoulder injury are:

• Bursitis or Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
• Frozen Shoulder
• Calcific Tendonitis
• Shoulder Instability
• Shoulder Dislocation
• Shoulder Separation
• Labral Tear and SLAP Lesion
• Arthritis

All of these conditions will warrant attention from an Orthopedic specialist. By correctly diagnosing the issue and then devising a treatment and recovery plan with the patient, the injury can be managed for optimum recovery. Should you experience ongoing pain in your shoulder, perhaps you suffer from restricted movement where once you had ample motion, or maybe the pain at night in your shoulder is getting worse; you should seek the opinion and professional advice from a medical specialist such as an Orthopedic doctor. Unlike many other traumas to the human body that can somehow repair itself over time and get back to full use, the shoulder is not one of them. Speedy consultation will aid in a speedy recovery.
