Treatment options for shoulder conditions vary depending on the specific condition. They can range from conservative approaches such as physical therapy, medication, or injections to advanced surgical procedures when necessary. Shoulder pain can result from injuries, overuse, or degenerative conditions affecting the joint, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
At LBJI, we diagnose and treat the following shoulder conditions:
Shoulder pain can be caused by rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, instability, or labral tears. A thorough evaluation, including a physical exam and imaging when needed, helps determine the exact cause.
In addition to pain, shoulder conditions may cause weakness, stiffness, or limited range of motion. You may experience difficulty lifting your arm, reaching overhead, or performing everyday tasks. Some patients notice clicking, catching, or a feeling of instability in the joint. Symptoms often worsen with activity or at night.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your condition. Many patients find relief with non-surgical care such as physical therapy, medications, or injections. When conservative treatments are not effective, minimally invasive or reconstructive surgical options may be recommended.
Minimally invasive shoulder surgery, also known as arthroscopy, uses small incisions and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat problems within the joint. Your surgeon may repair torn tendons, remove damaged tissue, or stabilize the joint. This approach is designed to reduce pain, limit scarring, and support a faster recovery.
A total shoulder replacement is a procedure in which the damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components to restore smooth movement. It is typically recommended for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage when other treatments are no longer effective. The goal is to relieve pain and improve function so you can return to daily activities.
