Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
»... We are excited to share this issue of D.C. Tracts, which delivers an up-to-date review of shoulder pain! ...According to scientific literature, shoulder pain is second only to spine pain as a cause of visits to primary care physician offices. In addition, shoulder pathology represents a significant cause of chronic pain. I am optimistic that a thorough understanding of shoulder pain can deliver healthier patient outcomes.
In his feature article, Dr. Stuart McIntosh, DC, MS highlights a review of scapular dyskinesis in the context of a clinical case report, including evidence-informed diagnosis and intervention. In their audio lecture, Charles R. Marchese, BS, MS, DO(c) and Benjamin Pautler, BA, DO(c) emphasize clinical anatomy and differential diagnoses for common shoulder pathologies. In our second audio lecture, Dr. Stephan Cooper, MSc, DC provides a thorough analysis of a challenging clinical disorder, adhesive capsulitis. Dr. Brad Muir continues to provide outstanding abstract reviews, which in this issue explore studies examining both patient and healthcare providers’ perspectives in treating shoulder pain. Finally, Dr. Brian Gleberzon continues his three-part series that explores the juxtaposition between professional boundaries and individual expression.
I trust that as the reader, you will find this issue of D.C. Tracts both informative and interesting, refining your clinical expertise and patient services.
Best Regards,
