Shoulder pain can limit the simplest tasks or keep you sidelined from your favorite sport or fitness activity. Ignoring shoulder aches and pains can lead to prolonged issues or new shoulder injuries within the soft tissue or bone structure.
Shoulder pain affects more than 25% of adults at any point in time, making it one of the most common conditions.
