Labrum/SLAP Tear

The labrum is a cup of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder joint. It serves as both an attachment site for the different muscles and tendons as well as deepens the socket to provide enhanced stability.

Rotator Cuff Strain

The shoulder is a ball and socket joint that has great mobility at the cost of structural stability. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that primarily functions to stabilize the shoulder while other muscles move it. Injury to the rotator cuff is the most common problem affecting the shoulder.

A/C Joint Sprain

A/C or acromioclavicular joint sprain describes damage to one or more of the ligaments that stabilize the A/C joint. This can lead to pain, instability and/or separation.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a condition that slowly limits shoulder active and passive motion. Frozen shoulder is split into primary and secondary.

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement comes from the supraspinatus tendon becoming entrapped between the acromion and greater tuberosity during elevation and internal rotation of the arm. Repetitive impingement is often the beginning of a variety of shoulder issues such as supraspinatus tendon disruption, subacromial bursitis, biceps tendonitis, and rotator cuff rupture.

Scapular Dyskinesis

Scapular dyskinesis or scapular dysfunction consists of an altered scapular position and motion pattern. This occurs from muscular imbalance, a lack of coordination or injury to the area. Most shoulder injuries have an underlying scapular dysfunction as well.
