Olympia’s Top Shoulder Injury Experts
The shoulder is responsible for the movements required for daily activities, work, and athletic performance. Injuries or conditions that affect the shoulder can be especially problematic for patients. Many of the activities required for day-to-day living or competing in sports can be harder or even impossible because of shoulder pain.
The following are some of the most commonly treated shoulder injuries and conditions treated by the Shoulder Specialists at Olympia Orthopaedic Associates:
- Chronic Shoulder Pain
- Shoulder Instability
- Shoulder Arthritis
- Shoulder Dislocations
- Rotator Cuff Tears
- Shoulder Bursitis
- Shoulder Labrum Tears
- Frozen Shoulder Syndrome
- Cartilage injuries
- Shoulder Fractures
- Overuse injuries
- Joint separations
- Shoulder Tendonitis
At Olympia Orthopaedic Associates, our Shoulder Specialists use their skills and knowledge to evaluate, diagnose, and treat these injuries and conditions. A customized treatment plan is prescribed to meet the needs of each patient.
Non-surgical treatment options include activity modification, medications, physical therapy, bracing, and more.
Injections may be used to treat patients who are in pain and need immediate relief.
Surgery may be performed when injuries or conditions do not respond to non-surgical treatment options or if there is severe damage to a tendon or ligament in the shoulder. The Board Certified and Fellowship Trained Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Specialists at Olympia Orthopaedic Associates are experts in the latest arthroscopic and traditional shoulder surgical procedures.
Our goal is always to get you back to an active and healthy lifestyle!
