Abstract
Seventy unselectcd patients with painful shoulders were examined by a systematic clinical method based on applied anatomy. In every patient except one, the tissue or tissues at fault were identified. Cases of tendinitis, sub-deltoid and sub-coracoid bursitis, ‘frozen shoulder', osteoarthrosis, and acromio-clavicular joint arthrosis were treated by appropriate local methods given to the affected part only. Nearly all of these patients were rapidly relieved of their symptoms to their satisfaction.Keywords
