Shoulder injury is a very commonly seen consequence of all sorts of accidents including car and workplace accidents. Most of the time, as disabling as it may be, the shoulder injury is not serious and requires no specialist referral.
Diagnosing a shoulder injury
Anyone seeing a doctor with a shoulder injury is likely, in the first instance to undergo a physical exam to determine any limits
of movement, pain location and possible joint instability. Usually the doctor is able to prescribe gentle exercise, painkillers or
anti-inflammatory medication.
Specialist referral
More rarely, a referral is made to a specialist. An x-ray or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is likely to be used to determine the most
appropriate treatment for the shoulder injury.
Treatment for a shoulder injury
The type of treatment most appropriate for a shoulder injury very much depends on the individual circumstances. Physiotherapy is often an
option, and only very occasionally is surgical intervention necessary.
