Shoulder
As the premier orthopedic and neurosurgical providers for Vancouver, Portland, Lake Oswego, and the surrounding areas for over 50 years, Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery offers exceptional shoulder care from our fellowship-trained and board-certified shoulder doctors so you can rebound.
The shoulder joint is made up of many ligaments, tendons, and muscles that connect the upper arm bone (humerus), shoulder blade (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle). As the most flexible joint in the body, the shoulder also has the widest range of motion, which leads to its increased risk for pain and damage. Shoulder pain is usually the result of overuse, normal wear and tear, or a traumatic injury. One of the most common overuse or repetitive stress injuries that people experience is a tear in the rotator cuff. Many people also suffer from arthritis, which is the degeneration or wear and tear of the bones and cartilage that leads to chronic pain. Traumatic injuries, such as fractures, often happen during high-impact activities or sporting events. No matter the type of shoulder injury or condition, it should be assessed by an experienced orthopedic doctor with training in the shoulder, as they have a broad understanding in evaluating patients and providing a personalized treatment plan.

When Is It Time to Consult a Shoulder Doctor?
Being able to communicate any of the symptoms you are experiencing will allow you to provide helpful information to your shoulder doctor.

- Shoulder pain that radiates down to the elbow
- Shoulder pain when trying to raise or move the elbow and arm
- Stiffness, which results in a decreased range of motion
- Swelling around the shoulder joint
- Unable to lift the arm over the head without pain
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it could mean that you have one of the following shoulder injuries or conditions, which can be treated by our shoulder specialists:
