Shoulder Conditions We Treat

Shoulder problems can limit everything from reaching overhead to simply getting dressed. We diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that affect the function and comfort of the shoulder joint.

Rotator Cuff Tears: Pain and weakness when lifting the arm are common signs of a rotator cuff tear, frequently seen in athletes and aging adults.
Labral Tears: Often caused by trauma or repetitive motion, labral injuries like SLAP tears can result in clicking, instability, and deep shoulder pain.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Inflammation from repetitive overhead motion can pinch tendons or the bursa, reducing mobility and causing sharp pain.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A degenerative condition that causes thickening of the joint capsule, leading to stiffness and long-term loss of motion.
Shoulder Instability and Dislocations: Recurrent dislocations, especially in athletes, often indicate ligament laxity or joint instability, sometimes requiring surgery.
Shoulder Arthritis: As cartilage deteriorates, the joint becomes painful and stiff. Severe arthritis may require shoulder replacement for lasting pain relief.

Knee Conditions We Treat

Knee issues can impact everything from walking to playing sports. We treat both common and complex knee conditions using personalized, effective strategies
Knee Ligament Injuries: Tears in any of the ligaments supporting the knee joint can result in instability, swelling, and difficulty returning to activity.
Meniscus Tears: A torn meniscus affects your knee’s ability to absorb shock, often causing pain, swelling, and locking.
Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee): This overuse injury causes inflammation in the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shin, resulting in pain during movement.
Knee Osteoarthritis: Chronic cartilage wear in the knee joint causes grinding, stiffness, and significant pain, especially with walking or standing.
Cartilage and Bone Defects: Damage to the joint surface can lead to long-term knee pain and is common in high-impact sports or traumatic injuries.

Shoulder Procedures and Treatment Offered

Our treatment options for shoulder injuries range from conservative approaches to cutting-edge surgical solutions, all aimed at restoring comfort and function.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions to reattach torn rotator cuff tendons, reducing pain and restoring shoulder strength.

Dislocated Shoulder Management

We offer both nonsurgical treatments and surgical stabilization to treat chronic dislocations and prevent recurrence.

Labral Repair

Performed via shoulder arthroscopy, this technique restores stability and function in patients with labral injuries or SLAP tears.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Ideal for patients with severe arthritis and massive rotator cuff tears, this innovative surgery repositions the ball and socket of the shoulder joint.

Rotator Cuff Surgery

For more extensive injuries, this procedure provides full tendon repair to alleviate shoulder pain and enhance motion.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive approach used for diagnosing and treating various shoulder injuries through small incisions.

Shoulder Fracture Care

We provide surgical and conservative care for shoulder fractures, ensuring proper alignment and bone healing.

Shoulder Replacement

Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury or arthritis, our practice offers targeted treatments designed to reduce pain and restore movement.

Knee Injections

Corticosteroid or viscosupplement injections can provide pain relief for arthritis, inflammation, and chronic knee pain.

ACL Repair

This procedure reconstructs the torn ACL using graft tissue, restoring stability and preventing future injury.

Meniscus Repair Surgery

Preserving and suturing the meniscus helps protect the knee joint from future degeneration and improves function.

Knee Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive option for treating cartilage issues, loose bodies, or minor ligament problems, with a quick recovery.

Quadriceps Tendon Repair

Ruptures of the quadriceps tendon can severely impair walking; surgical repair restores strength and movement.

Regenerative Therapies Offered

Our regenerative therapies harness the body’s natural healing abilities to promote recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve joint and soft tissue function.

Musculoskeletal Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

This non-invasive treatment utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic conditions, such as shoulder tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and knee osteoarthritis.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Using a concentration of your own platelets, PRP therapy accelerates healing in soft tissues and joints, reducing pain and inflammation without surgery.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells promote tissue regeneration in damaged joints, tendons, and ligaments, offering relief for arthritis and injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments.
