Common Shoulder Sports Injuries

Expert diagnosis and treatment for all shoulder conditions affecting overhead athletes and active individuals

💪

Rotator Cuff Tears

The most common shoulder injury in overhead athletes. From minor irritation to complete tears, we provide comprehensive treatment from conservative care to advanced keyhole repair.

Our Approach

Conservative treatment first for partial tears, minimally invasive arthroscopic repair for full-thickness tears requiring surgery

🎯

SLAP Lesions

Superior Labrum Anterior-Posterior tears common in throwing athletes. Requires specialized diagnosis and treatment by shoulder experts.

Our Approach

Precise arthroscopic SLAP repair through keyhole surgery with sport-specific rehabilitation protocols

🔄

Shoulder Instability

Recurrent dislocations and subluxations affecting athletic performance. From first-time dislocations to chronic instability requiring surgical stabilization.

Our Approach

Conservative treatment for first episodes, arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent instability

Shoulder Impingement

Painful pinching of soft tissues during overhead activities. Very common in swimmers, tennis players, and overhead workers.

Our Approach

85% success with conservative treatment, arthroscopic decompression when conservative measures insufficient

🔥

AC Joint Injuries

Acromioclavicular joint problems from acute trauma or chronic overuse. Common in contact sports and weightlifting activities.

Our Approach

Conservative care for most grades, minimally invasive AC joint reconstruction for severe cases

🏊‍♂️

Swimmer's Shoulder

Overuse syndrome specific to swimmers and overhead athletes. Comprehensive approach addressing technique, strength, and biomechanics.

Our Approach

Biomechanical analysis with stroke correction, conservative treatment >90% effective, surgery rare

Conservative Treatment Excellence

Most shoulder injuries respond excellently to properly administered conservative treatment protocols

💉

Precision Injection Therapy

Targeted PRP, cortisone, and autologous protein solutions delivered precisely to injured tissues for optimal healing response.

🏃‍♂️

Specialized Rehabilitation

Sport-specific physical therapy protocols designed for overhead athletes with emphasis on biomechanical correction.

📊

Biomechanical Analysis

Comprehensive movement assessment to identify and correct faulty patterns contributing to shoulder injury.

⏱️

Activity Modification

Strategic training adjustments allowing tissue healing while maintaining fitness and preventing deconditioning.
