I probably would also refer to PT ....because I don't treat pain to treat pain if there is not a functional deficit and outcome needed...just my 2 cents!

Received a new home health referral. Patient's diagnosis is right shoulder pain. Patient presents with bicep tendon pain during AROM, PROM and palpation. She lives alone and is independent with all her daily living tasks. I referred the patient to PT for the shoulder pain. Would you, as an OT, treat this patient?
