How are shoulder injuries commonly treated?2025-02-27T10:02:11-07:00

Unless the pain is associated with significant trauma, rehabilitation—focused on motion and strengthening exercises—is often the initial approach, supplemented with anti-inflammatory medications and possibly steroid injections. If surgery is a potential concern, we will work it up with the appropriate studies and refer you to a surgeon specializing in the care you need.

What Conditions Commonly Cause Shoulder Pain?2025-02-27T10:02:21-07:00

Acromioclavicular Joint (AC Joint) Issues
The AC joint, located at the top of the shoulder and often identifiable by a noticeable “bump,” is a frequent source of discomfort. Pain or tenderness in this area can result from trauma or arthritis. In severe cases or when pain persists for an extended period, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
Frozen shoulder often develops without a clear cause and most commonly affects women between the ages of 40 and 60. It typically progresses through three phases: an initial worsening of pain and stiffness, a plateau phase, and a gradual recovery phase. This condition can take up to two years to fully resolve, making an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan essential.

Tendonitis (Tendon Inflammation)
With numerous tendons in the shoulder, any of them can become inflamed due to chronic repetitive movements, leading to pain and discomfort. Early intervention and proper management are crucial to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.

How can I tell if my elbow injury requires medical attention?2025-02-27T10:02:46-07:00

While minor elbow pain or discomfort from overuse may resolve with rest and self-care, certain symptoms warrant medical evaluation. Seek professional attention if you experience severe pain, noticeable swelling, an inability to move the elbow or arm, visible deformities, or persistent pain lasting more than a few days.

What are the treatment options for elbow injuries?2025-02-27T10:02:59-07:00

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury. For mild conditions, rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications are often effective. Physical therapy and bracing may help with recovery and prevent future injuries. Severe cases, such as fractures, ligament tears, or chronic conditions like arthritis, may require more advanced treatments, including injections.

How do I know if my hand or wrist injury is serious?2025-02-27T10:03:13-07:00

Signs of a serious hand or wrist injury include severe pain, swelling, bruising, numbness, tingling, an inability to move the hand or fingers, visible deformities, or a loss of strength or function. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent further damage and ensure proper healing.

What are the common treatments for hand and wrist injuries?2025-02-27T10:03:20-07:00

Treatment depends on the specific injury or condition. Mild injuries, such as sprains or minor fractures, may be managed with rest, immobilization, ice, and over-the-counter pain relief. More severe injuries, including tendon tears, fractures, or nerve damage, may require advanced treatments like physical therapy, injections, splinting, or even surgery. A specialist can evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate care or refer out for surgery..

When should I see a specialist for hip pain?2025-02-27T10:03:33-07:00

You should consult an orthopedic specialist if you experience persistent hip pain that interferes with daily activities, limited range of motion, stiffness, swelling, or if the pain worsens over time. Sudden, severe pain or an inability to bear weight on the hip may indicate a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention.

What are the non-surgical options for treating hip conditions?2025-02-27T10:03:40-07:00

Non-surgical treatments include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, lifestyle modifications, activity modification, and corticosteroid or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. These options can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and delay the need for surgical intervention.

How do I know if my knee injury requires medical attention?2025-02-27T10:03:48-07:00

Seek medical attention if you experience severe pain, swelling, difficulty bearing weight, instability, or a noticeable deformity in your knee. Additionally, if the pain persists or worsens despite rest and home remedies, consult an orthopedic specialist to prevent further damage and ensure proper treatment.

What are the treatment options for a torn ACL or meniscus?2025-02-27T10:03:56-07:00

Treatment depends on the severity of the injury and your activity level. Mild tears may be managed with physical therapy, bracing, and anti-inflammatory medications. For severe tears, especially in active individuals, surgery such as ACL reconstruction or meniscus repair may be recommended. Our experts can obtain a full workup and recommend the appropriate surgeon. Rehabilitation after surgery is essential for recovery and regaining knee stability and strength.

When should I see a specialist for foot or ankle pain?2025-02-27T10:04:06-07:00

  • Persistent pain or swelling that doesn’t improve with rest or home care
  • Difficulty walking or bearing weight
  • Deformities, such as bunions or hammertoes
  • Symptoms of infection, like redness, warmth, or drainage
  • An injury, such as a sprain or fracture, that doesn’t heal properly

What treatment options are available for foot and ankle problems?2025-02-27T10:04:17-07:00

Treatment depends on the specific condition or injury and may include non-invasive options, such as orthotics, physical therapy, or medications
