Shoulder

The shoulder is one of the most complex joints we own. The shoulder provides us with an amazing platform from which the rest of the arm can function. Unlike the hip, which is a true “ball and socket” joint, the shoulder consists of a large ball and small flat plate for a socket. Consequently the shoulder is dependent upon healthy strong soft tissues to function at its peak. The providers at CORE have a deep understanding of and experience with the complexity of the shoulder. Shoulder pain and dysfunction can be disabling and diminish quality of life.

• Shoulder symptoms which would lead you to seek an appointment include;
• Persistent pain and dysfunction after an injury
• Shoulder pain that wakes you out of sleep
• Painful popping or snapping about the shoulder
• The shoulder gives out, or dislocates
• Loss of range of motion, or stiffness of the shoulder
• persistent pain in the upper/outer arm
• weakness of the shoulder

Leave figuring out the complexity of your shoulder issues up to the providers at CORE. We have extensive experience evaluating and treating all types of shoulder problems. State of the art non-surgical and when needed, surgical treatments are utilized to restore your shoulder to its former glory. Dial 760-943-6700 for an appointment or request one online.
