The shoulder has three major bones, the clavicle (collarbone), the Scapula (shoulder blade) and the Humerus (long bone of the arm). It is a ball and socket joint which allows movement of arm in various directions. When either or all of these bones along with surrounding muscles, ligaments and tissues are inflamed or in pain, then shoulder treatment is required. Shoulder treatment can be categorized from shoulder arthroscopy to repair damaged cartilage/ligament or even shoulder instability to shoulder surgery which is done for more extensive damage to the joint.
