Lets look a little closer

Shoulder pain that limits your ability to lift, reach, or sleep comfortably often stems from issues like rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, impingement, or arthritis. At Ortho Odessa, our surgeons evaluate each shoulder individually, starting with the least invasive option that gives you the best outcome. When surgery is needed, most shoulder procedures — including rotator cuff repair and labral repair — are performed arthroscopically through small incisions, which typically means less pain and a faster return to daily activity than traditional open surgery.

Individualized Treatment

For more advanced arthritis or complex tears, our surgeons also offer shoulder replacement options. Sometimes Physical Therapy or an injection is all you may need to get you back to feeling your best. Every shoulder is different and we get that.

Every treatment plan is paired with a structured rehabilitation protocol to help Odessa-area patients regain strength and motion as quickly and safely as possible.
