Posted by Goody on 02/18/08 in Health and Fitness
In a recent study from the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, the authors, Dr. Hay and Dr. Van Der Windt, out of both the Netherlands and United Kingdom, compared the results of traditional shoulder pain treatment in the primary care setting and the effects of those treatments. Both studies attempted to assess the differences in how these patients were treated and the progress they made. They first noted that shoulder problems are common with up to 47% adults in the general population reporting such symptoms in a 1 year period.
