Ambulatory visits, pharmacological, and non-pharmacological treatment, and surgical and radiological procedures, were compared by active-duty status and sex. The association between exercise therapy receipt and subsequent surgery was modeled using an adjusted logistic regression, reporting adjusted odds ratios (OR).<h4>Results</h4>There were 21,369 individuals (29.4 ​% female; mean age 50.3 [standard deviation (SD) 9.9] years), with 24.1 ​% military patients. The mean number of ambulatory shoulder visits per patient was 9.4 (SD 12.5).
