Our shoulder specialists manage conditions ranging from acute sprains and overuse injuries to complex rotator cuff tears and labral damage. Using advanced imaging, guided injections, and minimally invasive techniques, we restore shoulder strength and stability. We also provide comprehensive reports for workers’ compensation and no-fault claims, ensuring alignment with New York State guidelines.
Our shoulder care program covers every stage of recovery — from precise diagnosis to long-term function. We use advanced imaging to pinpoint injuries, provide targeted injections for pain relief, and apply arthroscopic procedures to repair soft tissue damage with minimal downtime. Bracing and rehabilitation support recovery, while surgery is reserved for cases where conservative treatments cannot fully restore stability and function.
We provide all aspects of shoulder care, including:
- Diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound)
- Ultrasound-guided injections for targeted pain relief
- Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff, labrum, or AC joint injuries
- Bracing and supports to protect and stabilize the shoulder
- Structured physical therapy and rehabilitation programs
- Minimally invasive or surgical repair when conservative care is not enough

Treatments:
Shoulder injuries are managed with individualized care that often begins with physical therapy protocols to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion. When structural damage is identified, surgical options such as rotator cuff or SLAP repair, biceps tenodesis, or subacromial decompression may be recommended to relieve pain and improve function. Each treatment plan is paired with clear documentation of progress, duty restrictions, and surgical justifications in line with New York State Workers’ Compensation Board standards, ensuring patients receive both effective care and proper claim support.
