FAQ

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Gentle range-of-motion and strengthening exercises can reduce stiffness and improve mobility. However, you should always consult an orthopedic expert before starting a rehab program to avoid worsening your condition.

Recovery depends on the type of surgery and individual factors. Most patients regain function within 3–6 months. Dr. Badia’s team offers post-surgical rehabilitation plans tailored to your needs.

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes stiffness and limited mobility, while a rotator cuff tear often involves weakness and pain with lifting. A proper diagnosis from an orthopedic surgeon is key to effective treatment.
