Advanced Shoulder Care
at Southern Spine Center
At Southern Spine Center, shoulder care is redefined. We combine world-class orthopedic expertise, state-of-the-art technology, and a commitment to personalized treatment to restore your strength, motion, and confidence. Every detail of your experience is designed to be seamless, modern, and effective—because you deserve nothing less.
Expertise in Every Detail of Care
The shoulder is one of the most dynamic joints in the body—allowing incredible range of motion but also vulnerable to injury and wear. Whether your pain stems from athletic performance, an active lifestyle, or natural degeneration, our fellowship-trained specialists deliver next-generation solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Conditions We Treat
From mild irritation to severe limitations, shoulder pain affects your quality of life. Our diagnostic approach goes beyond symptom relief—we uncover the root cause for lasting results.
Arthritis
Shoulder arthritis occurs when the smooth cartilage that cushions your shoulder joint wears away, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Our team offers non-surgical therapies, regenerative options, and, when necessary, surgical solutions to help you regain function and improve your quality of life.
Bicep Tear
A bicep tendon tear can cause sudden pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. At Southern Spine Center, we diagnose the severity of your injury with advanced imaging and create tailored treatment strategies—ranging from rest and physical therapy to surgical repair when necessary.
Bursitis
Bursitis develops when the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion your shoulder joint become inflamed, often due to repetitive movements or injury. Symptoms include pain with overhead motion and tenderness. Our specialists offer targeted therapies to reduce inflammation and restore comfortable movement.
Dislocated Shoulder
A dislocated shoulder occurs when the upper arm bone slips out of the shoulder socket, causing intense pain and instability. We provide expert, prompt care to reposition the joint and comprehensive rehabilitation to strengthen surrounding muscles and prevent future dislocations.
Frozen Shoulder
Also called adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder leads to pain and severe stiffness that gradually limits your ability to move your arm. Our team uses a combination of gentle therapies, targeted injections, and advanced treatments to restore motion and alleviate pain.
Labrum Tear
The labrum is the ring of cartilage that stabilizes your shoulder socket. A tear can cause catching, popping, or instability. At Southern Spine Center, we use state-of-the-art imaging to identify the injury and design customized treatment plans, including arthroscopic repair when needed.
Cutting-Edge Treatments
PRP Injection
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses your body’s own healing power to treat shoulder injuries. Using a concentrated form of your blood’s platelets, PRP is injected directly into the injured tissue to promote regeneration and reduce inflammation—helping you recover without invasive surgery.
Rotator Cuff Surgery
When the tendons of the rotator cuff are torn or severely damaged, surgery may be the best option to restore shoulder strength and function. Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time, alleviate pain, and improve long-term outcomes.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can stem from injury, overuse, arthritis, or degenerative conditions. Whatever the cause, our specialists perform a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the source and provide the most effective treatment—ranging from conservative care to advanced surgical options.
Sports Injury
Athletes often place heavy demands on their shoulders, leading to injuries such as ligament sprains, labral tears, or rotator cuff damage. At Southern Spine Center, we offer sports medicine expertise designed to get you back to your peak performance—safely and quickly.
