Care for Shoulder Pain
Schedule an Appointment
The shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body, but that very flexibility makes it prone to both sudden injury and chronic wear. Many problems are caused by the effect of repeated overhead motions over a long period of time. Weekend athletes and do-it-yourselfers are especially vulnerable to overuse issues — including arthritis resulting from a damaged or torn rotator cuff.

Getting You Back in Motion
We always begin by listening to understand exactly what you’re dealing with and how it’s impacting your life. Then together, we’ll find the best solution for your pain, which may include:
Nonsurgical treatments
Pain and anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections and physical therapy are all proven nonsurgical options that may alleviate your pain.
Surgery
If your shoulder pain is chronic and unrelenting, surgery may be your best option for long-term relief. Our skilled surgeons perform a full range of procedures, including shoulder arthroscopy to repair rotator cuffs with just a few small incisions and minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
If you’re dealing with bone-on-bone arthritis or a traumatic injury, you may be a candidate for shoulder replacement. This type of surgery involves removing the bones of the shoulder joint and replacing them with state-of-the-art artificial parts.
AtlantiCare specializes in total shoulder replacement, as well as reverse shoulder replacement for completely torn rotator cuffs. We use some of the most minimally invasive techniques available, often offering much less post-operative pain and a faster recovery. In fact, we have many patients home the same day as surgery.
