Continuation. Now that a biceps injury has been ruled out, how do we further diagnose shoulder pain to find its cause? Supraspinatus tendinopathy has long been a common cause of forelimb lameness and performance-related issues in active companion and sporting dogs. We walk you through the step-by-step palpation techniques used to help identify this challenging soft tissue injury and the diagnostic tests utilized to help confirm them. We then discuss and demonstrate treatment options that range from medical management and rehabilitation therapy to regenerative medicine / orthobiologic injections. Part 2 of 2.
