Shoulder

Motion Matters

With a shoulder ailment, the simplest movement can bring crushing pain. Lack of mobility and strength can make everyday tasks difficult. And shoulder pain often increases at night, adding sleeplessness to the mix. Our surgeons look for the root problem by evaluating the anatomic structures of the shoulder joint including the rotator cuff, collarbone, subacromial bursa, the biceps tendon and more. Our team has helped pain sufferers throughout the region increase their range of motion.

Minimally Invasive Treatment

Treatment can include rest and anti-inflammatory medication. Physical therapy is often prescribed to help control inflammation as well as to improve motion and strength. If these methods don’t work, an injection of an anti-inflammatory steroid, such as Cortisone or a related medication, can provide dramatic relief. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist or worsen.
