Yes. Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Badia to repair tendons, remove inflamed tissue, and restore joint function with less pain and faster recovery than open surgery.
A rotator cuff tear is a common injury involving the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Treatment depends on the size and severity—ranging from physical therapy to surgical repair.
Surgery may be needed if conservative treatments fail or if there’s a complete rotator cuff tear, labral tear, or severe arthritis. Dr. Badia offers minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures to reduce pain and restore function.
Yes. Many shoulder conditions respond well to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, or regenerative therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
If your pain limits your range of motion, interferes with sleep, or doesn’t improve after a few days of rest, it’s time to consult an orthopedic specialist. Persistent shoulder pain may signal a more serious issue like a tendon tear or joint damage.
Shoulder pain can be caused by rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, frozen shoulder, or impingement syndrome. Injuries from sports, repetitive motion, or aging can all contribute to shoulder joint discomfort.

To prevent recurrence, you should modify repetitive activities, use ergonomic tools, strengthen your forearm muscles, and stretch regularly. Dr. Badia offers post-treatment rehabilitation plans to reduce future strain.
Yes. PRP therapy uses your body’s own platelets to promote tendon healing. Dr. Badia often recommends PRP for patients with chronic or recurring tennis elbow who want to avoid surgery.
Most patients return to light activity within 2–4 weeks, with full recovery expected in 3–6 months. Dr. Badia uses minimally invasive techniques to accelerate healing and reduce downtime.
Surgery is only recommended if symptoms persist for 6–12 months despite conservative treatment. Minimally invasive procedures can remove degenerated tendon tissue and stimulate healing.
Yes. Most cases respond well to non-surgical treatment like rest, anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, physical therapy, and regenerative medicine such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections.
