ResumoIn briefWhether shoulder pain stems from acute or overuse injury, a practical, methodical evaluation is essential for diagnosing the underlying cause and prescribing treatment. Systematic shoulder evaluation first addresses the broad categories of shoulder pain— impingement and instability— before focusing on more specific causes, such as nerve involvement. A detailed, refined assessment can help minimize reliance on radiologic tests. Additional informationNotes on contributorsDavid C.
