When Should You See an Atlanta Shoulder Specialist?

You may not be sure about when you should see an orthopedic shoulder doctor. You should visit our Atlanta shoulder specialists if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • A grinding sensation when moving your shoulder.

  • Difficulty reaching or raising your arm.

  • Sudden, intense pain or pain traveling down your arm.

  • Constant aches, tenderness, or inflammation.

  • Weakness that makes it hard to use your arm.

  • Pain when shrugging.

Early diagnosis by a Resurgens shoulder doctor can help prevent complications and get you back to the activities you love.

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

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

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

It was a good visit. I got a steroid shot in the hip. He was informative and seemed to care about the problem. I will visit him again if needed. I would recommend him to others.

A foot injury from a high school car accident has been bothering me lately. Dr. K correctly diagnosed the problem and after a cortisone shot it has improved! Thanks!

Great Doctor and Staff! Repaired torn meniscus in my left knee. Took time to explain all my options. Surgery scheduled promptly and results are excellent. Cleared to go back to full activity four weeks after the surgery!

I had hip replacement surgery on 1/2/19 and walked with minimal assistance of a cane on 1/17/19. I found Dr. Claps and staff to be professional and efficient. My questions were always answered and explanations given for medications and procedures to be preformed. Dr. Claps called personally before and after surgery. I could not have chosen a better surgeon for my procedure. I also found other staff at Resurgens to be friendly and helpful.

I cannot recommend Dr Michele T. Perez highly enough if you have back issues! First of all, the Kennesaw location for Resurgens is super convenient to get to. Lots of free parking, and a large office with multiple specialists. They have in-house X-ray facilities, so no going elsewhere if the doctor needs that kind of diagnostic. They are fast and efficient in seeing patients, billing, X-ray, and in every interaction I have had with them. Highly effective, and no waiting for my appointment! i have lower back orthopedic issues, which has changed over the 16 years I have had them. Dr. Perez is up to date on the latest treatments to manage pain and improve an injured back as much as possible.

I'm a 58 year old female who required surgery to repair labrum and bicep this year. I'm now 4 1/2 months post surgery and 1 month post physical therapy and am incredibly pleased with the outcome. Dr. Chen and his staff were extremely professional and caring. He took time to explain in detail the surgery and necessary follow-up. He did an excellent job and I'm very grateful!

I am a previous patient of Dr. Bhole. I had a condition called tarsal coalition, resulting in ankle instability and constant pain, often agitated by walking. Not only did Dr. Bhole explain the condition in a way I understood, he demonstrated total control of the situation. He performed surgery on both ankles, and I had no complications and received exemplary post-operative care from Dr. Bhole and his team. Now, I am living pain-free and I have my life back. I recommend Dr. Bhole to anyone.

I've been a patient for 12 years, and have a wonderful relationship with the M.A.'s and Dr. Perez. My trust in her knowledge and experience is unwavering!. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, regarding their Dr.'s care, and this is mine!

I have been going to Dr. Fogle for about 5 years now. I finally had my shoulder surgery it went perfect. Very few doctors I trust like I do Dr Fogel. I would recommend him to any and all that are in the market for an incredible doctor. His staff is courteous knowledgeable and will go out of their way for you, that is very hard to find these days.

If you require a total knee or hip replacement, Dr. Lane is the best. My left knee is perfection and my right knee soon will be. You cannot find a more caring, skilled, and talented doctor.
