Shoulder Labral Tear: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Options

Shoulder labral tears are a common cause of shoulder pain and instability—especially in athletes and active adults. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that helps stabilize the shoulder joint; when torn, it can lead to clicking, catching, weakness, and difficulty with overhead activity.
