Call: (866) 520-2510 Monday-Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Conditions we treat
- Rotator cuff tears: Damage to the tendons and muscles that stabilize your shoulder; this can develop gradually from overhead activity or result from a single injury
- Shoulder dislocation: The upper arm bone (humerus) is forced out of its socket; commonly occurring from sports or accidents, treatment starts with a reduction to restore the joint
- Shoulder separation (AC joint): The collarbone separates from the shoulder blade; most cases are treated without surgery, though some severe injuries need reconstruction
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): Stiffness and pain from thickening and contraction of the shoulder capsule; common after immobilization and in certain medical conditions
- Bursitis/tendonitis: Inflammation around the rotator cuff tendons and bursa that causes pinching and pain with movement
- Shoulder arthritis: Wear-and-tear or inflammatory arthritis that can require joint-preserving care or shoulder replacement
Treatment options
First-line (non-surgical) options
- Rest and activity modification to reduce strain and swelling
- Medications such as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs for pain and swelling as appropriate
- Physical therapy like targeted stretching and strengthening to restore motion and stability combined with heat or modalities like ultrasound
- Image-guided injections (e.g., corticosteroid) when symptoms persist despite therapy
Advanced procedures (when needed)
- Arthroscopic surgery through small incisions to repair rotator cuff tears or relieve impingement
- Mini-open or open repair for complex tears or tendon transfer/graft in select cases
- Shoulder replacement to restore a severely damaged joint with a smooth, durable prosthesis
When to seek urgent care
- If severe shoulder pain persists after an injury with visible deformity or inability to move the arm
- If new numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand/arm occurs after a shoulder injury.
Same-day injury visits may be available. Call (866) 520-2510 or start an online request.

Frequently asked questions
Do all rotator cuff tears need surgery?
No. Many tears improve with rest, therapy and medications; injections can help when symptoms persist. Surgery is considered when pain and weakness limit function or when tissue quality suggests better outcomes with repair.
What is a shoulder dislocation reduction?
It’s a procedure to gently guide the ball of your upper arm bone back into the socket. This is often done with IV sedation or local anesthetic for comfort. Follow-up imaging confirms stability.
How are AC (shoulder) separations treated?
Most Grade I - III injuries are treated without surgery using ice, a short period in a sling, medications and rehab. Some Grade III injuries may benefit from early reconstruction, especially for heavy labor or frequent overhead activity.
What is frozen shoulder?
It’s stiffness and pain from a tightened joint capsule. Many cases improve over time. Treatment includes medications, therapy, and, if necessary, manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopy to restore motion.
What can I do at home for bursitis/tendonitis?
Try activity modification, ice and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs as directed. Therapy focusing on strengthening and motion is also recommended. If symptoms persist, a corticosteroid injection or arthroscopic decompression may be considered.
