Shoulder Conditions

Your shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, but this wide range of motion also makes it vulnerable to injury and wear-and-tear. Whether you are dealing with a dull ache from arthritis, the sharp pain of a rotator cuff tear, or the stiffness of a frozen shoulder, we provide expert care to restore your mobility and relieve your pain so you can comfortably perform daily activities again.

Common Symptoms

• Pain when lifting your arm or reaching behind your back
• A feeling that your shoulder could pop out of its socket
• Weakness in your shoulder or arm
• Stiffness or inability to rotate your arm normally
• Pain that wakes you up at night

Treatment Options

• Activity modification and anti-inflammatory medications
• Steroid injections for rapid pain relief and reduced inflammation
• Specialized physical therapy to strengthen the muscles supporting the shoulder
• Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery to repair torn tendons or stabilize the joint
• Shoulder replacement surgery for severe, bone-on-bone arthritis

Diagnosis

Diagnosing shoulder pain begins with a physical exam to test your shoulder's strength and flexibility. We may use an X-ray to look for arthritis or bone spurs, and an MRI or ultrasound to examine the rotator cuff tendons and other soft tissues in detail.

Management & Recovery

Management focuses on regaining a full, pain-free range of motion. Following any procedure or injection, a structured physical therapy plan is essential. We will guide you through exercises that start gently and progress to strengthening, ensuring a safe and effective recovery.
