How We Help
Durham Bone & Joint Specialists is an integrated Musculoskeletal Centre, committed to comprehensive care for your shoulder pain.
Our surgeon-led MSK care includes both latest advancements in surgery and conservative non-surgical treatments (injections, bracing, pain management, referral for physiotherapy).
We pair patients with the most appropriate sub-specialists to ensure the best experience and outcomes.
Most Common Cases
Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that secure the position of your shoulder joint. Any tear or strain in these components can cause significant pain and weakness in your shoulder
Impingement
Shoulder impingement describes a condition where a rotator cuff tendon(s) is pinched as they pass between the top of the upper arm (humerus) and the tip of the shoulder blade (acromion)
Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy describes any problem with a tendon, including disease, injury, or disorder. Tendinitis is inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder, including the rotator cuff and biceps tendons. When tendons become injured or inflamed, any movement can cause pain or feel weak, especially when you raise your arm to the side or overhead
Osteoarthritis
A common joint disorder, osteoarthritis involves the degradation of cartilage that protects the ends of your bones, leading to pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint
Frozen Shoulder
Medically known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition involves the gradual stiffening of the shoulder joint, causing pain and limiting movement
Experts in Orthopaedic Surgery
Our Orthopaedic Surgeons are experts in conservative treatment, sports medicine, rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability, anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and superior capsular reconstruction surgeries.
