THE SHOULDER
The shoulder – the most fascinating of all joints!
What makes the shoulder so special?
The shoulders are the connection points between the torso and the upper arms. Their special biomechanics allow for an extremely wide range of motion, allowing the arms to be moved in almost any direction. This makes the shoulder the most mobile joint system in the body. At the same time, however, due to its complex structure, it is also highly susceptible to injury, such as instability .
The mechanical function of the shoulder is ensured by three individual joints: the shoulder joint itself, the acromioclavicular joint, and the connection to the rib cage, the sternoclavicular joint. In addition, a closely coordinated interaction of various muscles, tendons , and ligaments is responsible for the function of the shoulder.
Because the shoulder is such a special joint, it's important to protect it from damage through care and preventative measures . If a shoulder problem unexpectedly arises, you can consult us. Simply schedule an appointment .
