Our Focus.
The practice specializes in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of shoulder conditions which include chronic conditions, acute injuries, fractures involving the shoulder complex and upper arm, sports injuries, arthritis and joint replacement.
It is important to us to establish an interactive relationship with our patients.
Procedures.
Surgery may be an ideal treatment for many common shoulder problems, particularly those that fail to respond to conservative therapy. Steroid or cortisone injections are often used as first line of treatment in chronic shoulder conditions.
