Services We Offer
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Our team starts with a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose the underlying cause of shoulder instability. This may include a detailed medical history, physical examination, imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans, and specialized tests like shoulder arthroscopy. Understanding the specific factors contributing to shoulder instability allows us to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
For some patients, non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, activity modification, and targeted exercises can effectively stabilize the shoulder joint and improve symptoms. Our team works closely with patients to explore conservative options before considering surgical intervention.
Surgical Interventions
When conservative measures are not sufficient, our surgeons offer a range of surgical interventions to address shoulder instability. This may include arthroscopic procedures to repair torn ligaments, stabilize the shoulder capsule, or address labral tears. In some cases, open surgical techniques may be necessary for complex reconstructions.
Rehabilitation and Follow-Up Care
We provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient’s needs following surgery or non-surgical treatment. Rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the shoulder muscles, improving range of motion, and restoring stability to the joint. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and ensure optimal recovery.
Patient-Centered Approach
At our practice, we prioritize patient education, communication, and involvement in the treatment process. We take the time to explain diagnosis and treatment options thoroughly, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their shoulder health. Our team is committed to providing compassionate care and support throughout every step of the journey toward shoulder stability.
