Comprehensive Shoulder Care

At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, we provide exceptional care for patients with shoulder injuries and conditions. The shoulder is one of the body’s most versatile joints, but its wide range of motion also makes it vulnerable to injury and wear. Our shoulder doctors combine advanced expertise with a patient-first approach, helping you regain strength, restore movement, and return to the activities you love.

When Should I Seek Treatment From a Shoulder Doctor?

Not all shoulder problems require surgery, but delaying care can increase the risk of long-term damage. Our shoulder doctors evaluate each patient individually and recommend the most effective, least invasive treatment possible.

Individuals experiencing shoulder issues may notice symptoms such as:

  • Pain that worsens with lifting, reaching, or overhead activity
  • Tingling, numbness, or radiating pain into the arm
  • Lingering discomfort from a past injury
  • Pain that worsens with lifting, reaching, or overhead activity
  • Tingling, numbness, or radiating pain into the arm
  • Lingering discomfort from a past injury

If you experience any of these symptoms, it may indicate one of the following shoulder conditions:

  • Arthritis
  • Bursitis
  • Dislocations or separations
  • Fractures
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Shoulder impingement
  • SLAP tears
  • Tendonitis
