Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder pain is common and can make it difficult to do things like get dressed, work, or even sleep. Shoulder injuries can be caused by a sudden impact, such as falling or a collision, or over time due to wear and tear to the cartilage, tendons, and ligaments within the shoulder.
When non-surgical treatments are not effective, or pain is limiting your daily activities, it may be time to consider shoulder surgery. Many shoulder surgeries can be performed arthroscopically and as outpatient procedures.
The board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians who operate at Watertown Regional Medical Center want to get you back to the everyday activities you enjoy, pain-free.
