Having shoulder issues? We can help

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint that connects the upper arm bone (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). The head of the humerus, which is a round ball shape, fits into the scapula, which is a shallow socket called the glenoid. The joint is lined by a smooth layer of cartilage which allows the bones to move smoothly and without friction.

The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body, allowing for a wide range of movement including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation. It allows us to move our arm in all directions, in front, beside, and behind our body.

The joint is surrounded by a number of ligaments, muscles, and tendons that provide stability and support. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that surrounds the shoulder joint and help to keep the humerus in the socket. The deltoid muscle is also important for shoulder movement and stability.

Shoulder joint problems and injuries can occur due to a variety of causes, including trauma, overuse, degenerative conditions such as arthritis, and other underlying medical conditions. Common shoulder joint problems include rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, and arthritis. Treatment for shoulder joint problems may include physical therapy, medication, and in severe cases, surgery.
