Overview
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body relying on a precise balance of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae for stability and movement. Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in adults, and it is also one of the most frequently under-diagnosed. Dr Malik’s shoulder pain service begins with real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound assessment in clinic directly visualising the rotator cuff tendons, subacromial space, and glenohumeral joint providing diagnostic information that is simply not available from clinical examination alone. This diagnostic precision allows treatments to be targeted with accuracy that significantly improves outcomes.
