Español Athletes should see a shoulder specialist if pain lasts longer than a few days, if the shoulder feels unstable or weak, or if the injury significantly impacts performance. Other red flags include nighttime pain, frequent popping, or recurring dislocations.
Early evaluation is important because untreated injuries may worsen over time, leading to more complex issues and extended downtime. Even minor shoulder pain can benefit from a professional assessment to rule out serious conditions.
If your shoulder injury is keeping you off the field or court, schedule a consultation at Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, where athletes receive expert care designed to restore full function and performance.
