Don't let shoulder pain limit your life any longer. Our expert team is ready to help you on your journey to recovery.
Shoulder pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific shoulder pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body, consisting of three bones (humerus, scapula, and clavicle) connected by the rotator cuff muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The shoulder's incredible range of motion makes it particularly vulnerable to injury and wear. Key structures include the glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, and the surrounding soft tissues that enable movement and stability.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or the joint itself. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Shoulder anatomy and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of shoulder pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
Common injuries affecting the group of muscles and tendons stabilizing the shoulder. Can range from inflammation (tendinitis) to partial or complete tears.
Condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Typically develops slowly and progresses through distinct phases.
Occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become compressed and irritated as they pass through the shoulder space, causing pain with overhead movements.
Degenerative condition causing wear and tear of the shoulder joint cartilage. Can be osteoarthritis (age-related) or rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune).
Condition where the shoulder joint becomes loose and can slip out of place (subluxation or dislocation). Often results from trauma or repeated overhead activities.
Many shoulder pain conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
