Shoulder

Pain

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body due to its wide range of motion — but this also makes it relatively unstable. While many causes of shoulder pain can be alleviated without surgical intervention, some conditions and injuries do require surgery. The orthopaedic shoulder specialists at Capital Orthopaedics offer nonsurgical and surgical procedures – including shoulder arthroscopy, superior capsular reconstruction and shoulder replacement – to treat shoulder pain.
