Navigating Shoulder Pain: How to Get Back on Your Game
A plain-language webinar on the most common causes of shoulder pain, and the paths back to confident, comfortable motion.
Shoulder pain has a way of working into everything, reaching overhead, getting dressed, and especially a good night's sleep. In this webinar, Dr. Matthew Cohn is joined by his Summit Health partner Dr. John Picone, a sports medicine specialist, to walk through why shoulders hurt and what can be done about it.
Together they focus on the two problems they see most often — rotator cuff issues and shoulder arthritis — from the first symptoms through diagnosis and the full range of treatment, including physical therapy, injections, arthroscopic repair, and modern shoulder replacement. They close with a candid question-and-answer session covering overuse versus degenerative tears, the link between neck and shoulder pain, the exercises that help, and how to sleep more comfortably.
It's an approachable introduction for anyone living with shoulder pain, whether the discomfort is brand new or has been with you for years.
