The shoulder (glenohumeral joint) is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. This ball-and-socket joint comprises of the humerus, scapula, and clavicle with a variety of joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles (including rotator cuff) that are common sites for many injuries. Our shoulder is one of the most versatile regions of the body and involved with most functional activities that we do. Unfortunately, with such high demand and common dysfunction (joint mobility and motor control), the shoulder is one of the most unstable joints in the entire body. Shoulder joint dysfunction can be heavily involved with pain in the shoulder, neck, back, and other regions of the body. Shoulder pain has many different origins and presentations and should always be evaluated by a medical professional.
