Change your pain. Change your life.
You use your shoulder all day long to help lift, reach, push, pull and rotate your arms. As the most flexible joint in the body, the shoulder gives us arm strength and a wide range of motion. However, this amount of flexibility can lead to overuse or injury.
If you have shoulder pain and weakness, it can be difficult to enjoy everyday life. Whether you like to cook, play a sport, garden or just want to move through life without pain, the orthopedic surgeons and specialists at The Christ Hospital Health Network have the expertise to get you back to your normal routine as quickly as possible.
We're Cincinnati's leading destination for joint care. We use the latest technology and advanced techniques to offer minimally invasive surgical options when possible. That means shorter recovery times and less pain.
It's time to make an appointment when:
- You have difficulty completing regular activities due to bone and joint pain.
- You have limited range of motion in a joint.
- You have intense, ongoing pain.
- You have an acute or chronic sports injury.
- You are unsteady on your feet when standing up, walking or sitting down.
- You have pain in your bones, joints or soft tissues for an extended length of time.
