Sports related injuries may be common, but that doesn't mean you or your doctor should neglect to take them seriously. A sports injury can do more than just take you out of the game: if you're a high school or college athlete, you may lose certain opportunities as a result of your injury or condition.
Whether you've sustained an injury like a rotator cuff tear or severe fracture, or you're living with a condition that's caused wear and tear in your shoulder such as rheumatoid or post-traumatic arthritis, a shoulder injury left unaddressed can soon become debilitating.

If you're an athlete, a severe shoulder injury or untreated condition can easily take you out of the game, but there's more to fear than that: eventually, it can even get in the way of your performing daily tasks, such as getting dressed, brushing your teeth or getting a good night's sleep.Your shoulder is an extremely mobile joint that you rely on to complete a wide range of tasks every single day.
