Orthopedic Specialist Dr. Mustafa Özcan at Gazi Hospital provided information about shoulder pain and treatment methods.
Why is it so common?
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. Therefore, it is very prone to tears, impingements, and calcification.
Which treatment methods do you use?
Arthroscopic (closed) shoulder surgery is our strongest side. We can stitch the tears in the shoulder through very small holes. We also add modern biological treatments like PRP and Stem Cell to accelerate healing.
How is the post-surgery process?
After closed surgery, our patients are generally discharged the next day. With physical therapy support, they start using their arm actively within a few weeks. Living with pain is not your fate; definitely see an orthopedic specialist.
