Dr. Wolf, an orthopedic surgeon at Comprehensive Orthopedics, explains that shoulder injuries are very common among athletes. However, these injuries don’t always require surgery—she typically begins treatment with physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Wolf performs arthroscopic procedures, which offer faster recovery times and reduced pain for patients. Most patients are able to return home the same day. After completing the recommended physical therapy, patients often return to their previous level of athletic activity.
