Shoulder Surgery and Treatment
The shoulder consists of a ball and socket joint surrounded by many ligaments and tendons which control motion and stability. Second only to the knee in sports medicine injuries, the shoulder is also subject to the wear and tear of aging.
Our Raleigh Surgeons Treat a Wide Range of Shoulder Conditions, Including:
- Rotator cuff tears
- Shoulder dislocations and instability
- Impingement and bone spurs
- Arthritis of the AC joint (end of collarbone)
- Arthritis
- Torn cartilage and labral tears
- Tendon instability and tears (such as the biceps)
- Frozen shoulder
- Little leaguer’s shoulder
Neck Surgery and Treatment
Problems in the neck can often masquerade as shoulder pain, and pinched nerves in the neck may cause symptoms all the way to the fingertips. The neck is also prone to arthritis just as other areas are, but neck arthritis can affect the spinal cord and cause additional problems. The most common causes of neck pain, however, are soft-tissue abnormalities due to injury or prolonged wear and tear.
At The Bone and Joint Surgery Clinic, We Treat the Following Neck Conditions:
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Cervical stenosis
- Pinched nerves
- Whiplash
- Trigger points
Spine Surgery and Treatment
The spine is an amazing part of your body. It provides strength, support, protection, and movement. Because your spine is subject to stress and strain every day, it is a frequent site of injury and problems that result from normal wear and tear.

- Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar herniated discs
