Shoulder Girdle pain can arise from various causes, such as overuse (Gym, Sport) injuries, trauma, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, rotator cuff tears, or instability. It can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life. Understanding the debilitating effects of shoulder pain, Dr. Poessel is committed to providing personalized treatment options to alleviate your pain, improve shoulder function, and enhance your overall well-being.

When you choose Dr. Hans J. Poessel for your shoulder girdle pain management, you can expect the following comprehensive approach:

1. Accurate Diagnosis: Dr. Poessel begins by conducting a thorough evaluation, including a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and a comprehensive physical examination. Diagnostic imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans, may be utilized to assess the underlying cause of your shoulder pain and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

2. Non-Surgical Treatments: Depending on the underlying cause of your shoulder pain, non-surgical treatments may be recommended as the initial approach. These may include rest, activity modification, physical therapy, pain medications, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, or other conservative modalities. Dr. Poessel will tailor the treatment plan to address your specific needs and help relieve your shoulder pain.

3. Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures may be recommended to alleviate shoulder pain and promote healing. These may include arthroscopic surgery, which involves the use of a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions to visualize and treat the underlying shoulder condition. Dr. Poessel has extensive expertise in performing minimally invasive procedures to provide optimal results with less tissue trauma and faster recovery.

4. Surgical Interventions: If non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments do not provide sufficient relief, or in cases of severe shoulder injuries or chronic conditions, surgical intervention may be recommended. Dr. Poessel utilizes advanced surgical techniques to address the underlying cause of your shoulder pain. The specific surgical procedure will depend on your diagnosis and individual circumstances. Dr. Poessel will thoroughly discuss the surgical options, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes to help you make an informed decision.

5. Rehabilitation and Follow-up Care: Dr. Poessel recognizes the importance of post-treatment rehabilitation in optimizing recovery and restoring shoulder function. He works closely with rehabilitation specialists to develop a personalized rehabilitation program tailored to your specific needs. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress, adjust the rehabilitation plan as necessary, and ensure optimal outcomes.

Patient Education and Support: Dr. Poessel places great emphasis on patient education and ensures that you have a clear understanding of your shoulder condition, treatment options, and expected outcomes. He takes the time to answer your questions, provide guidance, and offer ongoing support throughout your treatment and recovery journey.
