The rotator cuff is composed of four muscles that stabilize and move the shoulder joint. Common injuries to the rotator cuff are caused by overuse, trauma, and age. Pre-surgical and post-surgical treatments are established based on individual needs and protocols.
Severe shoulder arthritis and degenerative joint disease may require surgical intervention and a total or reverse shoulder replacement. Specific protocols are followed post-surgically to achieve function.
Shoulder pain caused by impinging of tendons or nerves of the shoulder to your armpit. Symptoms are caused by overhead activities, poor posture, ect.
This is tendonitis or inflammation of the tendon of the biceps muscle at the shoulder. Education on proper posture/ergonomics can dramatically improve or eliminate symptoms of this tendonitis.
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body. The shoulder can become unstable with overuse which can cause dislocation, laxity or subluxation. Proper strengthening and stabilization exercises can improve overall stability.
