About Shoulder Pain Treatment

"Shoulder pain can disrupt daily life, whether it’s caused by rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, tendinitis, or trauma. As an orthopedic surgeon, I’m committed to diagnosing the source of your pain and offering effective treatments tailored to your needs. My goal is to relieve discomfort, restore function, and help you get back to what matters most.

Non-Surgical Options:

Many cases of shoulder pain improve without surgery. I often start with:
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce stiffness.
Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs or pain relievers to manage symptoms.
Injections: Corticosteroids or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Rest and Activity Modification: Avoiding aggravating movements while allowing time for recovery.

Surgical Solutions:

When conservative treatments aren’t enough, surgery may be recommended. Common procedures include:
Rotator Cuff Repair: Arthroscopic surgery to mend torn tendons, restoring stability and strength.
Shoulder Replacement: Replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial implants for severe arthritis or irreparable damage.
Labral Repair or Debridement: Fixing torn cartilage or removing damaged tissue to improve joint function.

Each treatment plan is customized, starting with a thorough evaluation—often including imaging like X-rays or MRIs—to ensure the right approach. Whether through non-invasive care or advanced surgery, I’m here to guide you toward lasting relief.
