A structured shoulder cluster covering painful arc, rotator cuff overload, stiffness, instability, labral pathology and image-guided injection decisions.
Shoulder pain is often mislabelled because very different problems can all make lifting the arm painful. This hub is designed to help patients and clinicians separate tendon-driven pain, capsular stiffness, arthritis, instability and labral injury so the treatment route is more accurate from the start.
Painful arc and cuff-related pain.
Subacromial pain syndromeModern framework for cuff and bursal pain.
Rotator cuff tendinopathyTendon overload and weakness.
Shoulder bursitisSubacromial bursal irritation.

Shoulder osteoarthritisGlenohumeral joint degeneration.
Shoulder injectionGuided injection pathway.
If pain is affecting sleep, walking, sport, work or confidence, the next step is usually a clear diagnosis rather than more guesswork. We offer physiotherapy, diagnostic ultrasound and image-guided injection pathways across our MSK clinics.
