Understanding the Shoulder and Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is a complex and highly mobile joint, allowing a wide range of motion. It is a ball-and-socket joint, where the upper arm bone (humerus) fits into the shoulder socket (glenoid) on the shoulder blade (scapula).

This joint is stabilized by a group of muscles and tendons known as the rotator cuff. The shoulder also includes other important structures like the clavicle, and various ligaments, cartilage, and bursae (fluid-filled sacs).

Shoulder pain can arise from various causes, ranging from minor injuries to more complex conditions. Sometimes, the pain can be caused by problems in another part of the body, which is called referred pain. It’s crucial to understand the underlying cause of your shoulder pain to ensure effective treatment and recovery.

Treatments Offered

At Precision Orthopaedic Specialties, we offer a range of treatments to address various shoulder conditions:

Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches can help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your shoulder. Physical therapy is often the first line of treatment for many shoulder injuries.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory medicines and pain relievers can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with shoulder conditions.
  • Injections: Corticosteroid injections can provide relief from severe pain and inflammation.
  • Rest and Activity Modification: Sometimes, simply resting the shoulder and avoiding activities that cause pain can allow the shoulder to heal.

Surgical Treatments

When non-surgical treatments are not sufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our orthopaedic surgery options include:

  • Arthroscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat shoulder problems, such as rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, and labral tears. It involves small incisions and the use of a tiny camera to guide the surgery.
  • Rotator Cuff Repair: Surgical repair of torn rotator cuff tendons can restore shoulder function and reduce pain.
  • Shoulder Replacement: In cases of severe arthritis or extensive damage, shoulder replacement surgery may be recommended. This involves replacing the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components.
  • Shoulder Stabilization Surgery: Procedures to address shoulder instability and recurrent dislocations.
  • Fracture Repair: Surgical fixation of broken bones in the shoulder to ensure proper healing and alignment.
