The Shoulder Orthopedics Clinic specializes in all problems and injuries of the shoulder that cause pain or limit movement and function. Patients are usually referred here after initial treatment at the ER or an outpatient clinic.
After an accurate diagnosis, the medical team decides whether treatment will be conservative or surgical. Both approaches are highly effective in reducing pain and supporting recovery. The team continues to monitor and advise each patient throughout, and will recommend surgery when necessary. Shoulder surgery is performed in the hospital’s state-of-the-art operating rooms, either as day surgery (ambulatory) or as part of regular hospitalization.
For shoulder pain that does not require surgery, there is also a dedicated Shoulder Injections
Clinic, operating under X-ray or ultrasound guidance. A referral for an injection is provided by a doctor at the Shoulder Orthopedics Clinic following examination and a decision on the treatment plan.
