Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Shoulder
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Labral Tears.
Since orthopedic surgeons began using a tiny TV camera called an arthroscope to diagnose and treat shoulder problems, they have discovered several conditions that no one knew existed. One of these conditions is an injury to a small structure in the shoulder called the labrum. A labral tear can cause pain and a catching sensation in the shoulder. Labral tears can be very difficult to diagnose.
This document will help you understand:
- where and what the labrum is
- what tests your doctor will run to diagnose the problem
- what you can do to relieve your pain
