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.

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

Excellent staff, excellent surgeon. I had back surgery, quite extensive, and have not had a moment of difficulty. I would recommend Dr. Ali Mortazavi highly.

Great experience. Everyone was awesome from start to finish. Dr. Brustein is incredible. The service I received was excellent! 😊

I had a very serious leg injury and Dr. Raut and his assistant Ronnie were nothing but helpful and swift in their treatment and care for my injury. Being in the emergency medical field myself, I am usually very critical and quick to point out bad care and with Dr. Raut I was 100% pleased. He met every deadline as far as my projected recovery time and promptly called back to answer questions.

Dr. Yarbrough did total knee replacement. He and his staff are very compassionate and caring. Answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner and in terms I could understand. I highly recommend Dr. Yarbrough.

The office staff was polite and helpful. Dr. Tan knew what she was talking about, and spent a long time explaining my condition to me. Even gave me a lot of written information about my problem. She made me feel very comfortable (I'm usually anxious around doctors), and that she would take good care of me. I liked her a lot because she's so smart and compassionate. I would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs to see a hand and upper extremity surgeon for sure.

I fell off a ladder and shattered my calcaneus with displacement of the bones in my leg. Dr. Bircoll put me back together....... A plate and 10 screws. He was very direct and told me the seriousness of my injury. It has been 10 months now and I can walk without a limp. I have not developed arthritis which is a great risk for this type of injury. I honestly believed that Dr. Bircoll saved my life. I highly recommend him. He is clearly the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. B!

Dr. Rosenstein performed a Total Knee Replacement on my right knee in February of 2017. His professionalism and expertise have allowed me to regain my strength and mobility. He is talented, honest and caring. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Miller replaced both my shoulders, the left one in 2015 and right one in 2017. After every effort was made to alleviate my pain, which was substantial, Dr. Miller decided replacement was in order. Right after each surgery I was amazed at how little pain I had. Being a retired RN I remembered how painful these surgeries were. Frankly, I hardly had any discomfort with either shoulder. After a course of P.T. my range of motion is normal.

This orthopedic doctor (and staff) actually care, which is a blessing in this day and time when one is in pain!!! I'm very fortunate to have found him! Dr Finklestein is associated with Resurgens Ortho Group in Cumming, Ga.

I would recommend Dr Fogle to anyone. He repaired my rotator cuff. The MRI indicated an 80% tear, the actual surgery reveal a 100% tear. Dr. Fogel said it was one of the worst he had seen. Of course I had heard horror stories about this surgery and expected a difficult recovery. To my great surprise the first day of PT began with range of motion at 176 out of 180 degrees. The recovery and PT was quite easy. I attribute that to Dr Fogel's great skill and dedication. Thank you Dr. Fogel!!
