SHOULDER ARTHRITIS

Additional Conditions

Your shoulders are the location of your body’s most mobile joints. Shoulder joints take a lot of wear and tear and therefore have the potential to become unstable. Shoulder arthritis is one particularly painful condition that affects the shoulder joints.

​

There are five types of arthritis that affect the shoulders:

Rheumatoid

Osteoarthritis

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Avascular Necrosis

Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy

​

A thorough exam by Dr. Lonhofer can determine if your shoulder pain or other symptoms that may be related to arthritis. Since pain and stiffness associated with shoulder arthritis can worsen over time, it’s important that you don’t ignore symptoms.
