About 12.3 million people went to the doctor’s office in 2002 for a shoulder problem, including over a million visits for shoulder and upper arms sprains and strains.

Before considering any serious shoulder procedures, the specialists at Alpine express the importance of early detection as a key to preventing serious shoulder injuries. Our physicians at Alpine Orthopaedic Specialists prescribe a series of exercises aimed at strengthening shoulder muscles in order to avoid further damage or injury that may require more serious intervention.

The specialists at Alpine Orthopaedics provide effective treatment in diagnosing and detecting arthritic problems with the shoulder such as:

  • Osteoarthritis - a degenerative condition that destroys the smooth aouter covering of bone. Usually affects people over 50 years of age.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis - a systemic inflammatory condigtion of the joint lining. It can affect people of any age and usually affects multiple joints.
  • Posttraumatic Arthritis - is a form of osteoarthritis that develops after an injury such as a fracture or dislocation of the shoulder

Our physicians cover a wide range of problems and procdedurs with the shoulder such as:

  • Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
  • Dislocated Shoulder
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Separated Shoulder
  • Shoulder Joint Replacement
  • Broken Collar Bone
  • Fracture of the shoulder blade
  • Rotator Cuff Tears

In every case, the most conservative approach is sought before considering any surgical options.
