An ounce of dignosis…

Is worth it to find out you are not really hurt or if you are

A patient just contacted me with a sore shoulder. She hurt it surfing during the last swell and now isn’t surfing. She doesn’t know what is wrong. If you don’t know what’s wrong, it is hard to address the problem. I am an orthopedic specialist. With a quick exam I will tell her whether or not she needs to do stretches, exercises, get acupuncture or other treatment–and I can administer these. If you are an athlete and you are sitting out because of pain you need to be seen by a specialist. You could be 20 minutes from being back in the game.
