What to Expect at a Shoulder Visit
Your first shoulder visit starts with your history. A provider will ask when the pain or limitation started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your work, training, or daily routine.
Next comes a physical exam. Your provider checks your shoulder’s range of motion, strength, and stability, comparing it to your other side when that is helpful.
If imaging would help clarify what is going on, your provider will explain why it is being considered before moving forward.
Before you leave, you and your provider talk through options and next steps together, in plain language, so you understand what happens after your visit.
- Check-in and a review of your shoulder history
- Hands-on evaluation of movement and strength
- A conversation about imaging, if appropriate
- A clear plan for next steps, explained in plain terms
