Shoulder pain can make sleep, reaching, and everyday life difficult. Whether it is a rotator cuff issue, bursitis, or arthritis, we focus on finding the real source and calming it with image-guided, minimally invasive care.
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, which also makes it vulnerable. Rotator cuff tendons can fray, the bursa can become inflamed, and the joint itself can develop arthritis.
Our workup starts with a thorough exam and, when needed, imaging. That way the treatment plan targets what is actually driving the pain rather than chasing symptoms.
The location and timing of your shoulder pain tells us a lot about what is going on.
Shoulder treatments are chosen based on what imaging and exam show. Many patients avoid surgery with a layered injection plan.
A precise, image-guided injection into the shoulder joint or bursa. Calms inflammation so you can sleep, work, and start meaningful rehab.
A regenerative treatment that uses your own platelets to support healing in partial rotator cuff tears and chronic tendinopathy.
Targeted injections into tight shoulder, upper back, and scapular muscles that add to shoulder pain and limit motion.
For chronic shoulder pain that has not responded to simpler options. A small, temporary device that quiets the nerves carrying the pain signal.
Call us if the shoulder comes out of socket, if you cannot lift the arm after an injury, or if there is swelling, warmth, or fever around the joint. These signal injury or infection that needs urgent care.
Sometimes. A thorough exam can often point us to the right injection. If we suspect a structural tear or surgical issue, we will get imaging first.
Most patients can return to light activity the next day. For rotator cuff work, we usually suggest a few days of easier motion before heavier lifting, and we coordinate with physical therapy.
Yes. Controlling pain and inflammation before surgery usually makes rehab afterward go more smoothly. For many patients, the injection plan delays or avoids surgery entirely.
