Living with shoulder arthritis can affect your daily activities. Shoulder problems are the third most common musculoskeletal problem patients report to their doctors. If you’re experiencing persistent shoulder pain and limited mobility, it might be time to consider advanced treatment options. In Naples, Florida, Dr. Steven S. Goldberg and his team at Naples Orthopedic are at the forefront of shoulder arthritis treatment, offering cutting-edge solutions to help patients regain their active lifestyles.
Understanding Shoulder Arthritis
Shoulder arthritis is a condition characterized by the deterioration of cartilage in the shoulder joint. This wear and tear can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. While there are various types of shoulder arthritis, the most common is osteoarthritis, which typically affects older adults.
Comprehensive Shoulder Arthritis Treatment Options
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Goldberg understands that each patient’s needs are unique. Here are some of the advanced treatment options available:
Non-Surgical Treatments
For many patients, non-surgical treatments can provide significant relief. These may include:
- Physical therapy
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Corticosteroid injections
- Activity modification
Surgical Interventions
When conservative treatments aren’t enough, surgical options may be considered. Dr. Goldberg specializes in:
Partial Shoulder Replacement
For patients with localized arthritis, a partial shoulder replacement might be the ideal solution. This procedure involves replacing only the damaged parts of the shoulder joint, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
Total Shoulder Replacement
In cases of more extensive arthritis, a total shoulder replacement may be recommended. This procedure replaces both the ball and socket of the shoulder joint with prosthetic components.
Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement
This is a newer type of shoulder replacement that can treat both severe arthritis and rotator cuff tears or a combination of both. The surgeon places a ball-shaped component where the original bony socket was, and a socket component where the ball used to be, thus the name reverse shoulder replacement. This has become a very popular treatment for older patients here in the United States.
