Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Shoulder & Elbow Treatments

  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Our specialized physical therapists focus on strengthening the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles to improve shoulder stability. This comprehensive program includes proprioceptive training and movement pattern correction to reduce your risk of future dislocations.
    • Progressive strengthening exercises targeting rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers
    • Proprioceptive and neuromuscular re-education programs
  • Activity Modification Our team will work with you to identify activities or positions that may trigger instability episodes. We'll develop strategies to modify your movements while maintaining your active lifestyle during the healing process.
    • Sport-specific movement analysis and technique modification
    • Gradual return-to-activity protocols
  • Anti-Inflammatory Management Targeted anti-inflammatory treatments can help reduce pain and swelling around the shoulder joint. Our pain management specialists may recommend oral medications or localized injections to support your recovery.
    • Oral anti-inflammatory medications
    • Corticosteroid injections when appropriate
  • Bracing and Support Specialized shoulder braces or slings may be recommended during certain activities or sports to provide additional stability while your shoulder heals. Our team will ensure proper fitting and usage guidelines.
    • Activity-specific shoulder stabilization braces
    • Custom fitting and usage education

Many patients with first-time dislocations experience significant improvement and return to activities within 8-12 weeks of starting a comprehensive rehabilitation program.

Shoulder Stabilization (Latarjet/Bankart)

Watch how our fellowship-trained surgeons perform advanced shoulder stabilization procedures using the latest minimally invasive techniques.

Surgical Shoulder & Elbow Procedures

  • Arthroscopic Bankart Repair This minimally invasive procedure repairs torn labrum and tightens stretched capsule tissues using small incisions and specialized instruments. Most patients experience excellent stability restoration with faster recovery compared to open surgery.
  • Open Latarjet Procedure For patients with significant bone loss or recurrent instability after previous repairs, the Latarjet procedure provides a bone graft to restore the glenoid socket. This highly effective procedure offers excellent long-term stability for active individuals.
  • Capsular Shift Surgery This procedure tightens stretched shoulder capsule tissue to restore normal joint mechanics and stability. It's often combined with labral repair for comprehensive shoulder stabilization in patients with multidirectional instability.
  • Remplissage Procedure For patients with Hill-Sachs lesions (bone defects in the humeral head), this arthroscopic procedure fills the defect with tendon tissue to prevent engagement and dislocation. It's often performed alongside Bankart repair for comprehensive treatment.
Star
Over 92% of our patients who undergo shoulder stabilization surgery return to their previous activity level within 4-6 months, with excellent long-term stability outcomes.
