Shoulder pain

Written by Joseph M. Zappala D.C | 14 July 2010


Do you suffer from chronic pain in your upper back? Do you have pain behind your shoulder blade? Does it hurt when you take a deep breath in? Do you have trouble raising your arm over your head? If you answered yes to any of the questions, then you need to have your shoulder evaluated.

The shoulder joint is a relatively unstable joint in that the socket is very shallow and flat. That means the shoulder relies on the rotator cuff muscles for its stability. A good functional sports injury evaluation can help determine if your shoulder problem is soft tissue or mechanical or a little bit of both. To schedule your evaluation, contact one of our concierges  at (949) 631-5226 ext 10.
