Shoulder injuries we treat
Bursitis
Frozen Shoulder
Shoulder Impingement/Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
Rotator Cuff Tear
Bursitis
Bursitis is a painful condition that occurs when the small fluid-filled sac that supports the shoulder joint becomes damaged, irritated or inflamed. Symptoms of bursitis can include:
- Pain on the tip of the shoulder
- Pain when lying on the sore shoulder
- Pain when rotating the arm or pushing or pulling open a door
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is the progressive stiffening of the shoulder due to scar tissue. It typically develops slowly and in three stages, including:
- Freezing: moving your shoulder causes pain, and range of motion is limited.
- Frozen: pain may lessen, but your shoulder is stiffer and becomes more difficult to move.
- Thawing: your range of motion improves.
Shoulder Impingement/Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
Shoulder impingement occurs when your shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons are overused or injured. This causes pain and limits your movement. Symptoms of shoulder impingement/rotator cuff tendonitis can include:
- Pain with activity and while resting
- Pain that radiates from the front of the shoulder to the side of the arm
- Pain when throwing a ball, especially in athletes
- Sudden pain when lifting and reaching
Rotator Cuff Tear
A rotator cuff tear usually happens to people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or during sports. An extensive rotator cuff tear may require surgery and symptoms of a tear can include:
- Arm weakness or limited motion
- Discomfort when laying on the arm
- Dull shoulder ache
