The shoulder is a highly mobile joint and, for this reason, prone to pain, loss of strength and restricted movement. In this area we assess your case individually and treat both the injuries themselves and their surgical resolution when required.
We start by understanding what is happening: we listen to your case, examine the shoulder and request imaging tests when they provide useful information. Whenever possible, we first propose conservative treatment, designed to ease the pain and restore mobility and strength. If, after assessing it, surgery is the appropriate option, we explain this to you clearly. Our aim is for you to return to your everyday and sporting activity with a realistic plan, tailored to you and your goals.
These are the main shoulder injuries we assess and treat at our clinic in Valencia.
