When Should You See an Atlanta Shoulder Specialist?

You may not be sure about when you should see an orthopedic shoulder doctor. You should visit our Atlanta shoulder specialists if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • A grinding sensation when moving your shoulder.

  • Difficulty reaching or raising your arm.

  • Sudden, intense pain or pain traveling down your arm.

  • Constant aches, tenderness, or inflammation.

  • Weakness that makes it hard to use your arm.

  • Pain when shrugging.

Early diagnosis by a Resurgens shoulder doctor can help prevent complications and get you back to the activities you love.

Understanding Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is a complex joint system. Three separate joints work in harmony to grant it its impressive range of motion. The main joint, a ball-and-socket connection between the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade, allows for swinging and lifting movements. Two other joints, where the collarbone meets the breastbone and shoulder blade, provide additional stability and contribute to shrugging and reaching motions.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

There are many different factors that can cause shoulder pain. Everyday activities with excessive, repetitive overhead motions, like swimming or throwing a baseball, can irritate the joint. Injuries from falls or accidents can damage bones, ligaments, or muscles causing ongoing shoulder pain. Even age can play a role, as arthritis gradually wears down cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness.

Beyond wear and tear, factors like infections, irregular movements, and genetic conditions can contribute to shoulder problems. These include rotator cuff tears, impingement syndromes, nerve compression, and shoulder joint dislocations.

How We Diagnose Your Shoulder Pain

Accurate diagnosis is key to treating your complex shoulder joint. Our doctors use cutting-edge imaging technology, including EMG, MRI scans, CT scans, and nerve conduction studies, to pinpoint the cause of your pain. Additionally, electrodiagnostic screening may be used to identify the source of the problem.

Our certified technologists are continually trained in the latest imaging techniques and equipment, which allows them to assess the injury's location and severity. With expertise and advanced technology, our shoulder doctors in Atlanta provide effective treatment for your shoulder disorders, injuries, and replacements.

Treatment for Shoulder Pain

Our Atlanta shoulder specialists offer a comprehensive range of treatment options to get you moving again, and we will always prioritize conservative procedures before considering shoulder surgery. If non-surgical options don't provide relief, our experienced shoulder surgeons can perform procedures to address more complex issues.

Non-Surgical Shoulder Pain Treatments

We focus on non-surgical solutions first by using physical therapy, medication, and targeted injections to reduce inflammation, improve strength and flexibility, and manage pain.

Surgical Shoulder Pain Treatments

Although our specialists will not advocate for surgery unless all conservative options have been exhausted, sometimes it is necessary. Our experienced shoulder surgeons in Atlanta are here to help. We offer procedures like rotator cuff repair, biceps tenodesis, or SLAP repair, to restore strength and stability.

Arthroscopy techniques are used for faster healing and minimal scarring whenever possible. We'll work closely with you to determine the most appropriate treatment, ensuring a personalized approach to shoulder pain relief.

Great Doctor and staff!

The entire experience was excellent. What I appreciated most was Dr. Titelman spending time showing me my xrays, helping me understand the fracture I had, and why it should heal fine given its location. The staff were also friendly and very efficient.

Daftari performed 2 back surgeries for me. First he went through my stomach to straighten my spine and then the next week through my back to replace L4-S1 vertebrae’s and put all my hardware in. After 3 years of not being able to walk and being in the bed he saved my life! He checked on me so much in the hospital and he was so excited it was so successful. I had a high rate of being paralyzed if I did not get this surgery when I did. I wish I could somehow repay him for saving me!
