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?

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

Dr. Jeff Peretz and his team have been awesome! They are professional, friendly and attentive. Dr. Peretz spent a lot of time with us during the initial consultation for a total knee replacement and was very thorough in detailing his pre op and post op instructions! The surgery went exactly as planned and so did the recovery. Amazing improvement in range of motion and mobility. His team was supportive and responsive to phone calls. Highly recommend Dr. Jeff Peretz for Total knee replacement!

Dr. Hall has been my doctor for many years. He was very patient with my knee issues; he helped me with my arthritis in every way he could until I finally made the decision to have a knee replacement. My knee surgery went very well. Dr. Hall was empathetic and honest about the procedure. My results have been great and I owe it to his professionalism and excellent skills. Plus - Dr. Hall is super nice and I feel like he genuinely cares about me.

Been going to Resurgens for several years. Neck issues, knee issues, and back problems. Yep I'm a mess. But all the folks at Resurgens have always been accommodating and caring while assisting me in alleviating my issues. I can personally vouch for Dr. Achecar, Dr. Daftari and Dr. Dows-Martinez. And their rehab team is just as awesome to get everything working again. Dr. Achecar is a magician, 3 weeks ago he replaced my knee and I was up walking around without any aid 2 days later, slowly, but it was walking. He strides to do as little damage as possible while getting the new knee in. He is also good person with his patients comfort in mind. He will be doing my other knee when the time comes. Dr. Daftari pretty much the same way. I hadn't worked with him long prior to some fusing in my neck but treated me like one of the family. Highly recommend Resurgens Douglasville, Austell, and Vinings.

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Dr. Walton and his staff are!! My daughter has been seeing him for about a year and every visit he has listened patiently and answered all of her questions. He takes his time and does not rush through the appointments. Dr. Walton is honestly one of THE best doctors I have ever come in contact with and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a foot specialist.

I fractured my foot and was terrified of what would come next. This place is big, clean and you can feel the overall positive vibes from the entire staff. The x-ray techs took great care in the x-rays to make sure not to hurt me. The assistant Regina had me laughing while being careful and thorough with my cast. Dr. Raj Bohle was kind, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Specifically asked me what I needed, and reassured me that I would heal fine. The other two assistants were positive and kind and everyone put me at ease. Everything ran like clockwork here and I'm so thankful, since broken bones are scary.

Dr. Hui is the BEST. He is professional, caring and listens intently to my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and able. I've had two successful surgeries with Dr. Hui and would not hesitate to go back about any other issues.

As a chiropractor of over 30 years, I send many patients for spine surgery and I'm always looking for great surgeons. Dr Goins keeps up with the latest techniques and performs surgery only when it's in the best interest of the patient. He is tops on my list of trusted doctors

Dr. Dows-Martinez is 5 Stars all the way. She diagnosed my Sciatica, and first and foremost, was alleviating the pain and moving forward with treatment. She explained in detail; in a way I could understand, while showing me a model of a spine. We discussed and agreed upon a treatment plan; as well as expectations and scheduled an Epidural for the next day; which again; she explained – procedure, expectations, and outcomes in detail. Her staff member Angie immediately scheduled the procedure and gave me all the information and details to prepare for it. No detail left out, and made me feel comfortable preparing for the procedure. Every one of her team members were attentive to my medical needs and are all very friendly which really helped put me at ease. The day of the procedure Dr. Dows-Martinez made it very clear that her #1 concern was to keep me pain free, and that she did! …completing the procedure and no pain. Post Op follow-up by Dr. Dows-Martinez and her team, another 5 Stars. Her personal call was specific to my medical needs and her reach-out of personal care and interest was so genuinely felt. Thank you Dr. Dows-Martinez and team!!!

Able to access my patient account and check in online for my appointments. So up with the times. From the office staff, assistants, nurses, NP's, to the doctors...they are all professionals and courteous. Very knowledgeable as well. Thank you Resurgens.

My wife and primary care doctor nagged for months to go see Dr. Sacks. I don’t like doctors and the thought of surgery scared me. My back and hip pain was so bad I could barely walk anymore. I had some X-rays and he examined me. He spent a lot of time telling me what my problem was. I had a lot of questions. Both of my hips had so much arthritis it was making my back hurt too. We went over what I could do to help. Surgery was my best option. TotalHip replacements. I had my right hip done back in November 2017 and will be having my left hip done in April. I’m feeling so much better already and can’t wait to get the other done. During my process I have found out many people I know see Dr Sacks or their family does. When I went to the joint class at the hospital I was amazed and comforted to know just about the entire group of us in the class were patients of Dr. Sacks. I have named him the joint replacement guru. He knows his stuff.
