Three bones come together in the shoulder: The scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collarbone), and humerus (upper arm bone). Two joints, the acromioclavicular joint and the glenohumeral joint, connect these three bones, each one surrounded and supported by numerous muscles, tendons, other soft tissues, and cartilage.

In a healthy shoulder, all of these critical structures function together, allowing for optimal strength, mobility and the comfortable performance of a wide range of movements and tasks. When one or more of these structures becomes compromised, however, shoulder pain can result, severely limiting mobility and function.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain can stem from a wide variety of different causes, which is why getting to the root of the symptoms you are experiencing is key. At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, our specialists make it a priority to gain an in-depth understanding of your shoulder pain so that we can diagnose it with accuracy and precision.

How Is Shoulder Instability Treated?

Shoulder instability or dislocation is treated according to the severity of the condition and the treatment goals of the patient. In many cases, shoulder instability is responsive to non-surgical treatment options including rest, lifestyle modifications, pain management, and physical therapy. In cases where symptoms of instability do not resolve with conservative treatment approaches, surgery may be considered to tighten up loose parts of the joint and restore pain-free movement and function.
