Understanding Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is a complex joint system. Three separate joints work in harmony to grant it its impressive range of motion. The main joint, a ball-and-socket connection between the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade, allows for swinging and lifting movements. Two other joints, where the collarbone meets the breastbone and shoulder blade, provide additional stability and contribute to shrugging and reaching motions.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

There are many different factors that can cause shoulder pain. Everyday activities with excessive, repetitive overhead motions, like swimming or throwing a baseball, can irritate the joint. Injuries from falls or accidents can damage bones, ligaments, or muscles causing ongoing shoulder pain. Even age can play a role, as arthritis gradually wears down cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness.

Beyond wear and tear, factors like infections, irregular movements, and genetic conditions can contribute to shoulder problems. These include rotator cuff tears, impingement syndromes, nerve compression, and shoulder joint dislocations.

How We Diagnose Your Shoulder Pain

How We Diagnose Your Shoulder Pain

Accurate diagnosis is key to treating your complex shoulder joint. Our doctors use cutting-edge imaging technology, including EMG, MRI scans, CT scans, and nerve conduction studies, to pinpoint the cause of your pain. Additionally, electrodiagnostic screening may be used to identify the source of the problem.

Our certified technologists are continually trained in the latest imaging techniques and equipment, which allows them to assess the injury's location and severity. With expertise and advanced technology, our shoulder doctors in Atlanta provide effective treatment for your shoulder disorders, injuries, and replacements.

Treatment for Shoulder Pain

Treatment for Shoulder Pain

Our Atlanta shoulder specialists offer a comprehensive range of treatment options to get you moving again, and we will always prioritize conservative procedures before considering shoulder surgery. If non-surgical options don't provide relief, our experienced shoulder surgeons can perform procedures to address more complex issues.

Non-Surgical Shoulder Pain Treatments

We focus on non-surgical solutions first by using physical therapy, medication, and targeted injections to reduce inflammation, improve strength and flexibility, and manage pain.

Surgical Shoulder Pain Treatments

Although our specialists will not advocate for surgery unless all conservative options have been exhausted, sometimes it is necessary. Our experienced shoulder surgeons in Atlanta are here to help. We offer procedures like rotator cuff repair, biceps tenodesis, or SLAP repair, to restore strength and stability.

Arthroscopy techniques are used for faster healing and minimal scarring whenever possible. We'll work closely with you to determine the most appropriate treatment, ensuring a personalized approach to shoulder pain relief.

Patients Trust the Best Shoulder Surgeons in Atlanta

Very skilled surgeon who actually listens and cares. Wonderful staff who worked hard to get me in/out of the office.

I very recently had total right hip replacement surgery by Dr. Bircoll at DeKalb Medical Surgery Center. The hip replacement has been a complete success and pain that I have experienced in the hip for a long time is gone. In addition, Dr. Bircoll and his staff are outstanding. They worked very hard at each step to make sure that I understood what to do and felt comfortable. They answered questions carefully and completely. I would highly recommend Dr. Bircoll to anyone needing hip surgery.

He has been very compassionate to my problem and listens very well. He answers questions so you can understand in layman's terms, I appreciate that very much. His staff is also very approachable and they don't act like you are bothering them, as I have been treated in other offices that I have been in. I would recommend Dr. Goodman to anyone needing an excellent orthopedic dr.

Dr. Chambers is an exceptional physician. She has treated my spine problems for several years, and I would not see any other doctor. She is very knowledgeable about the spine, and she has a great "bedside manner." She is soft-spoken, looks you in the eye when she speaks, and makes sure that any and all questions you may have are answered before you leave. Her staff is friendly and helpful. I love Resurgens and Dr. Chambers!

Dr. Bailey fixed my "Frankenfoot" (bunion and hammertoes) that had bothered me since my teens! The pain had become so bad that it interfered with everything. I cant believe I have a normal looking, functioned foot..why did I wait so long? I normally see him at Emory Midtown, and it's easy in and out. John and Nele (his PAs) are great too. All very responsive to call, emails, endless questions. The surgeons, the staff, the billing folks, the facilities...all have been wonderful! I'm hope I'm done with ortho stuff, at least for a long while, but if something else needs fixing, Resurgens would be my first call.

Dr. Hui has done surgery on both right and left knees. The total knee replacements was what I put off for years, but so very glad that I finally had the work done.

Dr. Strong is very caring doctor. He pays attention and is very thorough. I like a doctor that has the bedside manner that he has which this doctor is not all about the money he's all about the patient. That's a rare find any more!! Highly highly recommend.

Dr. Finkelstein e is very professional and direct about what your injury is.  I have been very impressed with his knowledge and efficient run office. Although I hope to not need him after this, He will be my go to for back and neck issues. I recommend him 100%.

Dr. Sacks was highly recommended to me by my dentist. He had joint replacement by Dr. Sacks and told me if I wanted the best care available, Dr. Sacks is the man to see. I did some research, asked around and discovered that many people within my community have had successful surgery by Dr. Sacks. I also discovered that he is the Chief of Orthopaedics at Wellstar Cobb Hospital. I made an appointment and I am grateful I did. I had my knees replaced and I am living life to the fullest. Many thanks to Dr. Sacks for his thoroughness, compassion, and skilled hands for giving my life back.

I had surgery with Dr. Jeffords and it was 100% successful. I have been pain free for 5 years. I have recommended him to several people in St. Simons where I live .....they have had spine surgery with Dr. Jeffords and they thank me because their surgeries were 100% successful too. He is a GREAT Surgeon...patient, kind, knowledgeable and talented.
