Shoulder pain is a frequent complaint in urgent care patients. Complaints may be related acutely (due to injury) or chronically (due to overuse). Correct diagnosis of an acute injury is essential to preventing chronic pain, disability, and life- and limb-threatening complications. This review presents a systematic approach to managing shoulder pain in the urgent care setting by providing a framework for classification using mechanism of action and clinical presentation. Appropriate imaging studies and treatment are discussed, along with the indications for immobilization and outpatient referral, versus emergency department evaluation for more serious injuries that need emergent, definitive care.
