Our Solutions
Your shoulder treatment options will depend on your injury or diagnosis. For many conditions, our expert care team will recommend beginning with non-surgical measures. These can include solutions ranging from rest and activity modification to physical therapy to injections to pain management procedures. If you are a candidate for shoulder surgery, our shoulder and sports orthopedic surgeons offer innovative procedures. These include minimally invasive rotator cuff repairs as well as shoulder replacement surgery in which the surgeon will use computer-aided design to create an individualized prosthesis
