Whether you’re experiencing chronic shoulder pain, limited mobility, or an injury from sports or daily activities, Dr. Matthewson specializes in diagnosing and treating orthopedic shoulder issues.
Some common shoulder conditions treated include:
- Rotator Cuff Tears: Injuries to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint, often caused by overuse or trauma.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A condition that leads to pain and stiffness, gradually reducing your shoulder’s range of motion.
- Shoulder Impingement: Caused by the pinching of tendons or bursa in the shoulder, leading to pain during lifting or overhead movements.
- Shoulder Dislocation: When the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket, often from a fall or sports injury.
- Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage that stabilize the shoulder joint, are frequently seen in athletes who engage in repetitive overhead motions.
- Arthritis: Joint inflammation that can cause chronic shoulder pain and stiffness.
Dr. Matthewson offers both non-surgical and surgical treatments, including physical therapy, injections, arthroscopic surgery, and rotator cuff repairs, to help you regain mobility and reduce pain.
