Plagued By Shoulder Pain? When to See a Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Specialist
Your shoulders are hardworking joints that allow your arm to move in many directions to perform everyday tasks. However, the rotator cuff and labrum are subject to wear-and-tear, and the joint itself can become arthritic.
Shoulder pain isn’t something you want to deal with long-term. If you have an injury or chronic discomfort, seeing a fellowship-trained orthopedic specialist ensures the best care and treatment.
At the Spine and Orthopedic Center of New Mexico, Dr. Omar Osmani leads our team as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. He and Dr. David Ball are fellowship-trained in advanced surgery, providing significant expertise in orthopedics.
Signs that you need a specialist for your shoulder
Shoulder pain ranges from a dull ache to shooting pain throughout your arm, and no one wants to live with it for long.
Many people experience shoulder pain for two reasons: an injury or wear-and-tear. Injuries to the shoulder involve rotator cuff or labral tears, sprains, and strains, while wear-and-tear involves tendinitis and arthritis.
Some cases of shoulder pain resolve on their own, while others require specialized treatment. You may want to see a shoulder specialist for pain if it:
- Doesn’t improve with home care
- Continues getting worse
- Also involves redness or swelling
- Accompanies a deformity
- Has sudden swelling
- Prevents you from moving the shoulder
- Happens after a traumatic injury
You can walk right into our urgent care facility to get fellowship-trained care from our team. We offer specialty services for orthopedic issues such as arthritis and shoulder injuries without having to see a middleman.
Benefits of seeing a fellowship-trained specialist
Shoulder pain usually means there’s an issue in the joint. While a regular doctor can help, a specialist focuses specifically on joint and injury care.
Dr. Osmani is fellowship-trained in both spine and joint replacements, making him an expert in both fields. Fellowship training means he’s had an extra year in these specialities after his normal residency.
Living with shoulder pain makes everything rough, especially everyday activities. The benefits of seeing a fellowship-trained orthopedist are numerous and include:
