Ranked as a practical clinical reference — what's most common varies with age and activity level. Here's how these conditions are typically approached:
| Condition | What it is |
|---|---|
| Rotator cuff tendinopathy | Overuse of the shoulder's stabilizing tendons |
| Rotator cuff tear | Partial or full tendon tear |
| Shoulder impingement | Tendons pinched at the top of the shoulder |
| Frozen shoulder | Stiffened, painful joint capsule |
| Shoulder osteoarthritis | Cartilage wear in the ball-and-socket |
| AC joint arthritis | Wear where the collarbone meets the shoulder |
| Instability / dislocation | Joint slipping out of the socket |
| Labral / SLAP tear | Tear of the socket-rim cartilage |
| Biceps tendinitis | Irritated biceps tendon at the shoulder |
| Proximal humerus fracture | Broken upper arm bone |
“Non-surgical” options are always individualized after an evaluation. Conditions marked surgical or urgent receive an honest, prompt referral — that's how we practice.
What commonly causes shoulder pain?
- Rotator cuff strain and tendinopathy
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder arthritis and stiffness
- Pain with overhead motion, golf, tennis, or swimming
How is shoulder pain evaluated?
Your visit begins with an in-office evaluation, with imaging — ultrasound or fluoroscopy — when it's needed, so we can see the area clearly. Occasionally we'll arrange additional imaging elsewhere. From there, Derek builds a personalized, honest plan — and walks you through the options for your situation.
Which non-surgical treatments help shoulder pain?
- Image-guided injections — targeted relief for the joint or cuff
- PRP — to support tendon and soft-tissue healing
- Focused shockwave therapy — for stubborn cuff-related pain
- Mobility & maintenance planning — to restore and protect range of motion
When should you seek care?
Shoulder pain that interrupts sleep, blocks overhead reach, or keeps you off the course or court for more than a couple of weeks deserves evaluation — frozen shoulder in particular responds best to a structured plan started early. For general reference, see MedlinePlus's shoulder injuries and disorders guide.
Frequently asked questions
We treat rotator cuff strain and tendinopathy, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), shoulder arthritis, and sports-related overhead injuries — non-surgically, in Bonita Springs, FL.
No. Many rotator cuff problems improve with non-surgical care such as PRP, focused shockwave, and image-guided injections. We assess your situation honestly and refer for surgery only when it's truly the best option.
The shoulder is a complex joint. Ultrasound lets us see the cuff and joint during evaluation and helps place injections precisely where they're intended.
