The shoulder is a complex of joints that includes four key joints:
- Glenohumeral joint or ball-in-socket
- Acromioclavicular joint or AC joint, commonly referred to as collar bone attachment to the acromion of the scapula
- Scapulothoracic joint, known as the wing bone moving on the thorax or chest
- Sternoclavicular joint, which is the collar bone attachment to the breast bone.
The mobility of the shoulder joint makes it prone to injury. Whether it’s through repetitive movement or exposure to sudden trauma, tissue inside the shoulder can be damaged. This can lead to fractures, arthritis, rotator cuff injury, bursitis. The shoulder problems are often associated with pain, tenderness, weakness, instability and limited movement in the shoulder joint.
