Every sport has its associated common injuries, for example shoulder issues for swimmers and elbow problems for tennis players. Usually, pain in the arm or shoulder is the result of overuse or overtraining.
Early treatment may include NSAIDs, exercises and stretches, however, pain or reductions in performance for more than a few days can be due to abnormal mechanics which causes associated muscles and tissues to become overworked and damaged. This leads to repetitive injury, making successful resolution without invasive procedures more difficult, unless treated effectively.
Non-surgical treatment may include lower spinal or extremity joint manipulation, active release soft tissue therapy or custom orthotics along with proper sport coaching and exercise.
Most shoulder and arm concerns can be treated easily with natural therapy allowing quick recovery and the ability to return to training or play. Fortunately, only a small percentage of these issues eventually require surgery.

Muscle strain due to overuse is the most common overuse injury seen in most offices however ligament and joint sprains related to mild/moderate trauma are also fairly common.
