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.

Our certified technologists are continually trained in the latest imaging techniques and equipment, which allows them to assess the injury's location and severity.

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

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!

Dr. Ansari did surgery on my knee and I was very impressed with him and his staff. The office staff is great! They are professional and very helpful. The wait time is much shorter than most doctors. Highly recommend him & his staff.

I went to the McDonough office with Dr. Brustein. He is absolutely wonderful. He take get care to ensure that his patients are treated like family. I have also been treated by Dr. Bush and he is excellent also!!!

Dr. Harvey is amazing! I have been living with chronic pain for 5+ years. I went to see him and he immediately diagnosed my condition as SI joint dysfunction. I am now 15 days post-op and virtually pain free after the iJoint surgery. He, along with his very talented staff have changed my life. Along with his mad skills, he is also a very genuine and compassionate person. I can tell he loves what he does. I now consider him my friend for life. Thanks Dr. Harvey!!!!

If I could give him a 10 , I absolutely would! Have had excellent results with his treatment plan.

My experience with Resurgens Orthopaedics Midtown, Dr. Arthur Raines and his PA, has been phenomenal. Their professional comfort and assurance contributed to my ease in having my Achilles surgery. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and for that I am sincerely grateful.

Dr. Middlebrooks and his PA are the best and understand patient's dynamics and the care they need for their medical issues. The staff in the Lawrenceville office are the best. Everyone is so professional and treat you with respect and dignity. They listen to you and also have you contribute to the medical plan and they don't just throw their treatment plan at you without explaining everything to you. They also explains it to you on your level so that when you leave their office you have a great understanding of what is it that they are trying to accomplish and to assist you to get your health back on track. Every doctor need to take a page out of their book because they understand patient's dynamic and their health needs. I love these guys and will trust all my family and friends with them. Keep up the good work guys because you are the best in the bone, joints and muscle business.

I have been using Resurgens for over 11 years and yes, you will wait sometimes a little longer than you expect to, but that's because the doctor's don't throw you out in 5 minutes. They listen to you and the problem(s), discuss all options and tell you the best way to proceed. I have had knee, shoulders, arm, hand and back problems that they have helped me with and I would recommend them to all. Resurgens doctor's are terrific.

I have been a patient of Dr. Holliger for 10 years. He puts his patients at ease with his kindness and his sense of humor. You know that your concerns are being heard and will be taken care of. His staff is second to none, phone calls are always returned. It is easy to understand why he has received top honors as a hand surgeon so many times.

I was so lucky to have Dr. Scott That night of my accident at North Fulton Hospital. He did a great job on my broken Heep bone, back in 2001. Thank you Doctor for your expertise and devotion. You are one of a kind.
