Rotator Cuff Repair

When shoulder pain limits your movement, rotator cuff repair can help. This procedure addresses damaged tendons, rebuilding strength and stability so you can lift, reach, and move freely again—whether you're an athlete or just want to enjoy daily activities without discomfort.

Shoulder Arthroplasty

When pain and stiffness limit your life, shoulder arthroplasty offers a path forward. This advanced procedure replaces damaged joint surfaces to relieve discomfort, restore strength, and help you return to everyday movement easily and confidently.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

This advanced, minimally invasive procedure allows our specialists to treat shoulder issues like tendon tears or joint irritation with precision and care. Through small incisions, shoulder arthroscopy reduces discomfort and shortens recovery time, so you can return to pain-free motion sooner.

Shoulder Instability

If your shoulder feels like it slips, shifts, or dislocates easily, you may be dealing with shoulder instability. Often caused by injury or ligament laxity, this condition can disrupt daily life and cause persistent discomfort. Our team offers both non-surgical and surgical solutions tailored to your specific needs and activity goals.

Shoulder Labral Repair

When the labrum is torn from injury or dislocation, it can lead to pain, weakness, and instability. Labral repair restores this vital cartilage, helping to secure the shoulder joint, relieve symptoms, and get you back to confident, pain-free movement.

SLAP Repair

A SLAP tear can cause deep shoulder pain and limit performance, especially in athletes and active individuals. SLAP repair restores the top portion of the labrum, relieving discomfort, stabilizing the joint, and helping you return to overhead movements with confidence.

Subacromial Decompression

When shoulder movements feel painful or restricted, subacromial decompression may offer relief. Clearing space above the rotator cuff eases pressure, reduces inflammation, and restores pain-free motion, so you can lift, reach, and move comfortably again.

Shoulder Anatomy and Function

Your shoulder is the most flexible joint, allowing you to easily lift, reach, and rotate. It’s built from a complex system of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that must work in perfect balance to keep you moving pain-free. When one part is injured, it can affect the whole system.
