Remember the adage "like carrying the world on your shoulder's?"  If you're experiencing pain from the strain of heavy lifting, you overdid it at the gym, or suffered the unfortunate yet common Rotator Cuff tear, most likely you are hurting and dealing with a limited range of shoulder motion.  Shoulder injuries are one of the most common, especially for athletes and workout enthusiasts who are always pushing themselves to pump a little more iron.  Untreated conditions like ligament or tendon injuries, dislocations, radial fractures and even nerve damage can be overlooked as just a strain or overdoing it at the gym, when in fact they are much more serious and can lead to debilitating problems as we get older.  Don't let a treatable condition turn into a  problem that robs you of the ability to stay active for a lifetime.  Contact our office and let us keep you moving throughout all your years ahead.

Treatments
