Orthopedic Shoulder and Upper Arm Care

Did you know the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body? Think about all the directions you can move your arm, thanks to the flexibility of the shoulder joint. Because of the greater range of movement, the shoulder is more susceptible to injury. Many shoulder injuries are caused by overuse and repetition from athletic activities, occupations, day-to-day chores, as well as accidents and trauma.

Mercy Health’s orthopedic doctors and surgeons are specially trained in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder conditions. Our team will work with you to develop a treatment and rehabilitation that works for you. If you are experiencing issues with your shoulders or upper arms, request an appointment with an orthopedic specialist at Mercy Health or see your primary care doctor.
