How We Diagnose Shoulder Injuries

Your evaluation begins with a one-on-one visit with one of our orthopedic providers and may include:

• On-site X-rays to check bone structure and joint spacing
• MRI referral for detailed soft tissue imaging
• Physical exam to test range of motion, strength, and joint stability
• Functional assessments to evaluate real-world shoulder use

Accurate diagnosis allows us to recommend the most effective next steps for treatment.

Treatments We Offer

Non-Surgical Options

• Physical therapy for strength and stability
• Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation
• Activity modification and guided rehab programs
• Bracing or immobilization when needed

Surgical Options

• Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
• Labral tear repair
• Biceps tendon surgery (tenodesis)

We focus on the least invasive and most effective option available to restore your function and comfort.
