Shoulder Pain Treatment in Central Florida

Shoulder Pain Treatment

Shoulder pain can make it difficult to reach overhead, lift objects, sleep comfortably, or participate in sports and activities you enjoy. At Central Florida Bone & Joint Institute, our orthopedic surgeons specialize in diagnosing and treating the full range of shoulder conditions, from rotator cuff injuries to severe arthritis requiring joint replacement. With offices in Orange City and Lake Mary, we provide comprehensive shoulder care to patients throughout Central Florida.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which also makes it vulnerable to injury and wear. Our team combines thorough diagnostic evaluation with the latest treatment techniques to help you regain function and return to your normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the symptoms of a rotator cuff tear?

Rotator cuff tears often cause pain when lifting or lowering your arm, weakness when rotating your arm, a crackling sensation during movement, and pain at rest or when sleeping on the affected shoulder.

How long does rotator cuff surgery recovery take?

Rotator cuff surgery recovery typically takes 4-6 months. You will wear a sling for several weeks and begin physical therapy shortly after surgery. Full strength and function usually return within 6-12 months.

Can shoulder pain heal without surgery?

Many shoulder conditions respond well to non-surgical treatments including physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative therapies like PRP. Surgery is typically reserved for cases that do not improve with conservative care.

What causes frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) occurs when the shoulder capsule thickens and tightens. It often develops after prolonged immobilization, surgery, or can occur without a clear cause. Diabetes and thyroid disorders increase the risk.
