Shoulder Pain

By Dr. Eric Sherman - DNP, CRNP-BC

The shoulder is a complex joint, with many moving parts. Shoulder pain is one of the most common problems seen in our practice. This pain may be the result of falling, a workplace injury, breaking a bone, sports injuries, a motor vehicle accident, or even certain inherited conditions. Even poor posture and improper biomechanics can exacerbate issues in the shoulder. A thorough examination will help identify the cause of your pain and our healthcare providers will customize a plan of care to help reduce your pain and promote your use of the shoulder.

Treatment modalities may include conservative care measures, appropriate therapy recommendations, steroid injections, viscoelastic supplementation, PRP injections, pain management referrals, or surgical intervention when required. Our team will guide you through the process from start to finish, with the goal of decreasing pain and improving the overall function of the shoulder. We will take the time to explain what your best options are to improve your quality of life. Surgery may not be the option you prefer; we can help you decide what the best course of treatment is for your specific needs.
