Shoulder

The shoulder’s versatility makes it prone to injuries, particularly osteoarthritis from wear and tear and cartilage tears from overuse. Pain associated with these injuries can be so significant that lifting your arm above your head is difficult.

At Northern Arizona Orthopaedics, our shoulder specialists see injuries of all types, from sports-related injuries among youth to osteoarthritis among Baby Boomers and seniors. Whether minor or major, these injuries can be treated using the latest nonsurgical and surgical treatment methods.

Our physicians always consider nonsurgical treatments first but, if necessary, will perform surgery using the most advanced and least invasive procedures.
