Shoulder examination. Doctor and nurse examining a patient's shoulder in a hospital. The patient has injured the supraspinator tendon in her shoulder after falling and wrenching her right arm. This tendon helps lift and rotate the arm. The doctor is feeling for any swelling or tender areas in the shoulder region. He is also observing the range of motion present in the injured shoulder. Treatment of shoulder injuries usually involves rest, physical therapy and the prescription of medication to reduce inflammation and pain in the area affected.
