Shoulder Diagnoses and Treatment
The loosest joint in the entire body is the shoulder. It needs to be loose because it requires a range of motion along with a degree of stability for normal functions. The shoulder is made up of a ball and socket and joint as well as a shoulder blade and collar bone.
The ligaments, muscles and tendons around the shoulder play an important role in stabilizing and controlling a fairly complex series of movements involving the shoulder blade and collar bone.
Signs and symptoms of shoulder problems include pain, limited motion, catching or clicking, weakness, dead-arm feeling, pins and needles, numbness, grinding and stiffness.

- Tendonitis

- Frozen shoulder/Capsulitis

"Having been in therapy for 6 months, both before and after surgery I can say they tried very hard to make sure I had a good outcome......my recovery seems to take a long time, from my point of view, but Aileen was very patient and understanding when dealing with my impatience....she made the situation easier by her friendly and outgoing personality." - Carol C.
