Non-Surgical Treatment Options:
Our approach emphasizes conservative treatments to help patients recover and avoid surgery when possible. These options include:
- Physical Therapy: A rehabilitation program focused on strengthening the muscles around the shoulder joint and restoring flexibility.
- Bracing and Support: Shoulder braces or slings to provide support and prevent further strain on the shoulder joint during healing.
- Corticosteroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and relieve pain in conditions like tendinitis and bursitis.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: A regenerative therapy using the patient’s own platelets to promote healing in tendon and soft tissue injuries.
- Medications: Pain management and anti-inflammatory medications to manage symptoms and enhance recovery.
- Activity Modification: Recommendations for lifestyle or activity changes to minimize strain on the shoulder joint and prevent further injury.
Surgical Treatment Options:
If non-surgical treatments fail to relieve symptoms, our orthopedic surgeons offer advanced surgical options to address shoulder conditions:
- Rotator Cuff Repair: Surgery to reattach torn tendons in the rotator cuff, using arthroscopic or open techniques.
- Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgery to examine and treat various shoulder conditions, such as labral tears, tendonitis, and bursitis.
- Shoulder Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty): For severe arthritis or joint degeneration, we perform partial or total shoulder replacement to relieve pain and restore function.
- Labral Tear Repair: A procedure to repair or reattach the labrum, a cartilage structure that stabilizes the shoulder joint.
- AC Joint Reconstruction: Surgical intervention to repair the acromioclavicular joint when damaged due to injury or arthritis.
- Shoulder Stabilization: Surgery to treat shoulder instability, often after recurrent dislocations, by tightening the ligaments or repairing damaged tissue.
- Tendon Repair or Reconstruction: Surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct damaged tendons around the shoulder joint, such as the biceps or triceps tendon.
