Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is common for many, regardless of their age or level of physical activity. If you are experiencing shoulder pain our shoulder specialists can help you get the right diagnosis and treatment. Shoulder pain that is persistent can be indicative of a more serious shoulder condition that will need medical attention and treatment. Shoulder pain might be caused by:

  • Rotator cuff tendinitis
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Adhesive capsulitis
  • Calcific tendinitis
  • Shoulder instability, dislocation, or separation
  • Arthritis
  • Biceps tendon rupture
  • Lesions

Many causes of shoulder pain can be treated by our orthopedic specialists.

Shoulder Treatments

Our orthopedic specialists start with non-surgical treatment to help lessen or alleviate your shoulder pain. However, if the problem worsens or the treatment isn’t working, surgery may be an option. Depending on your condition an orthopedic shoulder specialist may suggest one or more of the following treatments to help with your shoulder condition:

  • Physical therapy
  • Stretching
  • Anti-inflammatory prescriptions
  • Steroid injections
  • Shoulder surgery

If you are experiencing shoulder pain and believe that you need orthopedic treatment, we can help you find an orthopedic specialist that is right for your situation.
