Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common shoulder problems you treat?

We commonly treat rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, instability, arthritis, and fractures, and more, using both non-surgical and surgical treatment options.

Do all shoulder injuries need surgery?

No. Many shoulder conditions improve with physical therapy, activity modification, and injections. Surgery is reserved for cases that do not respond to conservative treatment or involve significant structural damage.

When should I see a shoulder specialist?

See a specialist if you have persistent shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or pain that interferes with sleep or daily activities lasting more than a couple of weeks.

What does shoulder replacement involve?

Shoulder replacement involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with an implant, and is typically considered for severe arthritis or rotator cuff damage after non-surgical options have been tried.
