The usual treatment for shoulder injuries is surgical options.

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often performed to repair soft tissue injuries.

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery (otherwise known as keyhole surgery) can be a good option for some patients. It is often performed to repair soft tissue injuries, and enables surgeons to introduce a fiber optic camera through a two- to three- millimeter incision.

There are many pain generators in the shoulder. There is often an overlap in the symptoms between several structures including the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) and glenohumeral joint/labrum. One of our major goals at The Shoulder Centre is to shorten the time to diagnosis and to provide a treatment plan that will see you through to better shoulder function.
