What Our Shoulder Care Visits Look Like
Shoulder care at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center starts with a conversation. Your provider will ask about your activity level, how long the shoulder has been bothering you, and what makes it feel better or worse, so the visit is built around your specific situation.
From there, a physical evaluation helps your provider understand how the shoulder is moving and where the concern seems to be coming from. Depending on what they find, they may recommend imaging or additional testing before talking through the options that make sense for you.
Shoulder visits at our practice are appropriate for a range of situations, including:
- General shoulder pain, stiffness, or aching that has settled in over time
- Shoulder discomfort following a sports activity, fall, or repetitive movement
- Reduced range of motion or a feeling of weakness in the shoulder
- Follow-up care for a shoulder concern discussed at a previous visit
Any specific questions about symptoms, diagnosis, or treatment are best answered by one of our providers during your visit, since every shoulder and every patient is a little different.
