We see active adults and athletes of all ages, from weekend gardeners to competitive players, and we build shoulder care around what matters most to each person: staying active, staying independent, and getting clear answers about what is going on.
What Our Shoulder Service Includes
Shoulder care at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center starts with a conversation. Your provider will ask how the shoulder has been feeling, what activities bring on discomfort, and what you hope to be able to do again without thinking twice about it.
From there, a hands-on exam helps the provider understand how the shoulder is moving and where it may be limited. Depending on what is found, imaging done in our office may be part of that same visit, so many patients leave with a clearer picture before they go home.
- A focused conversation about your activity level and goals
- A hands-on shoulder exam
- On-site imaging when appropriate
- A plan discussed together with your provider
This service is appropriate for active adults and athletes of all ages who want a shoulder concern looked at by someone who works with sports and orthopaedic issues regularly. Specific questions about diagnosis or treatment are always best answered by your provider during the visit.
