Shoulder

The shoulder is a ball-and-joint socket, cushioned by a layer of cartilage. The shoulder is the most mobile joint and an important area of the body as it makes it possible for your arm to move in a circular motion. Shoulder pain can be caused by an injury, repetitive movements due to the nature of your job or degeneration of the joint associated with age.
