Comprehensive Care for Complex Shoulder Injuries

The shoulder’s wide range of motion makes it one of the body’s most flexible and vulnerable joints. This complexity can make treatment a challenge. Dr. Scott Strasburger brings extensive experience in the care of complex shoulder injuries, utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques that may help identify the root of your discomfort. Whether you’re seeking care for a sports injury or the effects of arthritis, our team is here to provide high-level support that may help you move forward with confidence.

Shoulder Conditions We Address

Shoulder discomfort may result from trauma, overuse, or gradual changes in the joint over time. Sagewell Orthopaedics offers care for a wide spectrum of shoulder concerns, which may include:

  • Rotator Cuff Tears: Injuries to the muscles and tendons stabilizing the shoulder, which may cause pain and weakness.
  • Shoulder Impingement: Inflammation that may result from the shoulder blade pressing against the rotator cuff.
  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint that can worsen gradually.
  • Shoulder Instability and Dislocation: Conditions in which the upper arm bone may come out of the shoulder socket.
  • Arthritis of the Shoulder: Wear and tear on the cartilage, which can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and a limited range of motion.
  • Labral Tears: Injury to the ring of cartilage supporting the shoulder socket.
  • Biceps Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder bone.
     

Our Approach: Personalized Support for Relief

At Sagewell Orthopaedics, we believe in beginning with a conversation. Dr. Strasburger and our team take the time to understand your unique symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. With a focus on patient-centered care and advanced diagnostic tools, we tailor your treatment plan to your needs. Our philosophy emphasizes non-surgical and conservative therapies whenever possible, which may help restore your shoulder function and comfort.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Many shoulder concerns may be managed without surgery. Our non-surgical approaches are designed to reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and support mobility.

  • Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises may help strengthen the muscles around the shoulder and improve flexibility.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Medications: These can be used to help manage discomfort and reduce swelling.
  • Corticosteroid Injections: Injections may offer relief from inflammation directly inside the joint.
  • Regenerative Medicine: Advanced options like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy may support your body’s natural healing process.

Advanced Surgical Options

When conservative measures are not enough or when injuries are more severe, surgical intervention may help address your shoulder concerns. Dr. Strasburger is experienced in modern surgical techniques, including minimally invasive procedures and complex reconstruction.

Surgical options may include:

  • Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Minimally invasive techniques may help repair torn tendons with small incisions.
  • Shoulder Stabilization Surgery: This may help tighten loose ligaments and reduce the chance of recurrent dislocations.
  • Labral Repair: Procedures may help reattach the labrum to support shoulder function.
  • Total Shoulder Replacement: Replacing damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic components may help relieve arthritis-related pain.
  • Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement: A specialized option that may help patients with completely torn rotator cuffs and advanced arthritis.
