Shoulder Pain
Twin Falls, ID
The shoulder is your body’s most flexible joint, composed of muscles, cartilage, and bones allowing for extensive movement. The glenohumeral and acromioclavicular (AC) joints connect the humerus to the clavicle, supported by muscles like the rotator cuff tendons, deltoid, and trapezius. These components work together to provide a wide range of motion necessary for daily activities and athletic pursuits. When an issue occurs within the shoulder, whether muscular, cartilaginous, or skeletal, it can significantly impact your ability to move and perform routine tasks.
