Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be extremely debilitating from having trouble performing simple tasks as reaching for something, brushing hair, or just getting dressed. For others it may be preventing you from pursuing more strenuous activities that are important to your lifestyle. Sleep may be disturbed when turning and not finding a comfortable position.
The pain can be due to the joint itself such as osteoarthritis, tendon tears, impingement, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), or nerve entrapments.
Treatment will depend on the diagnosis with the help of scans and if needed collaboration from our surgical colleagues. Many may want less invasive treatment options before considering surgery purely due to personal preference or if age and co-morbidities make surgery high risk. Some may have persistent pain despite surgery.
Keeping your personal condition, circumstances, and end goals in mind to select we will select the best treatment for you. Modern radio frequency targets are one of our specialist modalities.
