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

I had an appointment 12 /14/2020 with Dr Baker , He made my time there great he check out all my injuries and gave me a since of which direction to go to heal properly. He has a great bedside manner tha keeps you comfortable while you are being seen in his office 

Keep looking for her smile to come around the corner every day 😢. I will never forget you. Love and miss you Dr. C.

Dr. Dantuluri is an extremely nice person who pinned my broken humeral head with a titanium pin which is a minimalist approach which preserves the blood supply to the humerus . It was all very efficiently taken care of. I have good range of motion 6 months later. His office staff are pleasant and helpful. I feel extremely lucky to have found Dr. Dantuluri who is so skilled in this procedure. Thank you!

I am 53, Dr Kelly was referred to me by my PCP and several friends. I had a torn meniscus and Dr Kelly operated, stitched it back together, I went through all my physical therapy at Resurgeons and 13 months later I am writing this review to say that I am completely at the point where I was prior to my tear. Dr Kelly was awesome and I highly recommend him as surgeon and Monica at Kennesaw Resurgeons Physical Therapy as a therapist. Thank you both. You guys rock!

With two boys in sports, we spend a lot of time here. We all see Dr Makhuli and he and his staff are amazing! Two surgeries, lots of broken bones, and mom with a bad knee - he handles us all with flexibility in his schedule and fantastic attitude.

I had total knee replacement surgery on May 30,2018. Dr. Matthew Levine was my surgeon. Dr. Levine made sure I understood the process and what to expect throughout recovery. Within 2 weeks I was walking 2 1/2 miles a day. By 4 weeks I was walking 5 miles a day. At the end of 5 weeks I was back in the pool doing water aerobics. Many people ask who my surgeon was because they know people who have never completely recovered. My point here is follow Dr.'s orders and Dr. Levine is the BEST!!!

Very professional place. They actually treat you like a human, not a dollar sign. Very glad I made the choice to see Dr. Perez and then Kenin in Physical Therapy, very nice and easy to talk to.

Had three surgeries with Dr. Miller, left an right rotator cuff, right hand carpal tunnel. Was best Dr. I ever had a in my 70 years I have had many Dr's. Very caring, explains every thing to be done in layman's terms that anyone can understand.

Dr. Paul Jeffords is absolutely the best! He and his Resurgens Team helped me have the best experience possible with my recent spinal surgery! I had a micro-decompression and I feel great already! He called to check on me himself! So thankful for such a caring, thoughtful doctor who is such a fantastic surgeon!!!

THE ULTIMATE PEACE OF MIND! After becoming concerned about swelling in my injured hand, I decided to follow up with Dr. Mowbray (hand specialist), at Resurgens. I was able to get an immediate "same day" appointment. When I arrived, I had already downloaded and completed the necessary paperwork so I had a very short wait. Dr. Mowbray has a very easy manner about him, does a great job of educating about wound care and is very thorough. X-rays were taken to determine the full extent of the injury, an additional stitch was removed to relieve pressure, my meds were adjusted, I received specific instruction on hand exercises and I was given a splint to provide additional support. Later that night, I noticed a significant decrease in the swelling while the mobility in my fingers had significantly increased. YES! I was elated because this means that the healing process is on target and I will likely avoid further intervention. The best decision I could have made was to follow up as soon as possible. During my entire visit, the staff in this office was very professional, pleasant and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Mowbray and his staff if you are ever in need of a hand and arm specialist.
