	The Facts about Shoulder Problems
		The shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone).
		Problems seen with a dislocated shoulder are tearing of the ligaments or tendons reinforcing the joint capsule and, less commonly, nerve damage.
		Shoulder pain or tenderness and, occasionally, a bump in the middle of the top of the shoulder (over the AC joint) are signs that a separation may have occurred.

	Shoulder Pain - Rotator Cuff Injury and Common Shoulder Problems
		Strengthening exercises for the muscles that support the shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that dynamically stabilize the main shoulder joint) are a major part of treatment for most shoulder injuries, but strength training before adequate healing has taken place may cause further pain and injury.
		The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons, which envelope the main shoulder joint and stabilize the shoulder joint (keeps the head of the upper arm bone centered on its socket) while in motion.
		Falling on an outstretched hand or a blow to the shoulder may cause the ligaments that hold the joint together to overstretch or tear and cause displacement of the collarbone.

	Common Shoulder Problems (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The shoulder comprises a glenohumeral joint, (between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula) the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints (at either end of the collar bone or clavicle) and the scapulothoracic joint (the articulation that allows the scapula to rotate, protract and retract).
		The major movers of the shoulder (deltoid, pectoralis, latissimus dorsi, etc.) are all attached some way from the axis of rotation of the humeral head and all tend to pull the shoulder out of joint.
		Shoulder instability can arise either because of acute trauma such as a dislocation, from repeated 'microtrauma' as with a professional thrower who puts excessive strain on the stabilisers repeatedly over a prolonged period, or because of congenital ligamentous laxity.
