A very common condition I have coming through my office is shoulder pain that is either thought to be rotator cuff driven, or actually diagnosed as a rotator cuff strain/tear by another medical provider.
As you can see in this quick synopsis, sometimes you have to look outside of the site of pain to truly find the culprit (now yes, some rotator cuff muscles can refer to the front of the shoulder too, so the assessment needs to be very thorough).
If you are dealing with shoulder pain yourself I can help - see details below....

Dr. Marv is the owner of Coastal Performance Chiropractic in Houston Bay Area. He also currently offers telemedicine video calls and nutrition coaching through the office for all TX residents. Dr. Marv recently launched The Educated Meathead that will be developed over the course of this year.
