Shoulder
The shoulder is one of the most complex and mobile joints in the body, allowing for a wide range of motion needed for everyday activities. Keeping the shoulder healthy and pain-free is essential for maintaining function, independence, and an active lifestyle.
Patients can experience a variety of shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, labral tears, bursitis, instability, and arthritis—all of which can cause significant pain and limit motion. Shoulder pain often interferes with work, sleep, sports, and even simple daily tasks like reaching, lifting, or dressing. Causes of shoulder pain can range from injury and overuse to aging, degeneration, and underlying medical conditions.
Active individuals, including athletes and fitness enthusiasts, often place added stress on the shoulder joint during repetitive motion and high-impact activities. The physicians at Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine have extensive experience in diagnosing, treating, and preventing shoulder injuries, helping patients of all activity levels return to the activities they enjoy.
Treatment options for shoulder conditions often begin with non-surgical approaches. After a thorough evaluation, our physicians may recommend treatments such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, or activity modification. If conservative treatments are not successful, surgical options—including minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures or shoulder replacement—may be recommended to restore function and relieve pain.
