Our scope of treatment encompasses sports-related injuries, fractures and degenerative conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. Our goal is to restore function, alleviate pain and improve the quality of life of our patients.
Common Shoulder Conditions
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint that comprises of 3 bones:
Upper arm bone (humerus)
Shoulder blade (scapula)
Collarbone (clavicle)
Ligaments, tendons and muscles hold these bones together in a stable position. Most shoulder conditions develop in the soft tissue progressively. Shoulder injuries may occur during sporting activities, often due to repetitive motion, overuse, sudden impact, or incorrect techniques; and daily activities such as hanging the laundry, carrying heavy bags and even poor sleeping positions. They may be minor or serious, depending on the injury and how long it is left untreated.
Shoulder Conditions We Treat
Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement is a common condition where the tendons of the rotator cuff and the subacromial bursa become compressed and irritated as they pass through the narrow space beneath the acromion (a bony prominence on the shoulder blade).
Bursitis
Bursitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the bursa, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles near joints. This inflammation can lead to pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the affected area.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones, commonly resulting from repetitive overuse or injury. This condition typically causes pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area, often impairing joint movement.

No, surgery is not always the first option. Dr Bryan often explores conservative treatments such as physiotherapy and splints, whenever possible. Surgery is considered if non-surgical approaches don't provide relief or if your condition requires surgical intervention for optimal recovery. Regardless of your treatment option, Dr Bryan will be with you every step of the way, and help you get back to what you love doing most.
