Always there to care
Identifying the right treatment option for your rotator cuff or labrum injury depends on many things, such as the severity of your injury, the activities you participate in, and your general health. While some injuries, such as a SLAP II or a bicep tendon tear, will likely require surgery, other injuries can be managed with physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, and decreased involvement in activities requiring repetitive overhead motion.
Though shoulder surgery is the last resort for shoulder injuries, many patients benefit from having their damaged tendons and cartilage repaired, preventing further degeneration and injury. Patients often feel as though they have to choose between shoulder surgery and a continued active lifestyle, but with Dr. Orlando, you can have both!
Using advanced imaging and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, Dr. Orlando’s patients skip the general anesthesia and the nausea that comes with most surgeries and can recover from home – quickly – with little-to-no physical therapy required. This allows our patients to have the best of both worlds by regaining the maximum amount of mobility with the least amount of pain. Contact CCAOS for a free image review and to learn more!
