Shoulder

Conditions involving the shoulder range from extremely painful and debilitating to chronic or nagging pain that over time can impact your mobility and quality of life. There are many causes of shoulder pain. And there are many solutions.

Common Shoulder Conditions

The shoulder joint is capable of a wider range of motion than any other joint in the body. It’s also susceptible to a wide range of injuries and conditions.

OPA Shoulder Providers

The OPA team includes Alaska’s leading shoulder specialists and offers some of the latest, most advanced treatment procedures available today.

OPA treats a wide variety of conditions and offers comprehensive treatment options — including many non-surgical solutions, minimally invasive, and total joint replacements. All treatments work to restore pain-free function that allows patients to lead active, fulfilling lives, be it walking pain-free or getting back into athletic action.

All OPA physicians are board certified and several within the shoulder team have additional fellowship training in areas such as total joint replacement, trauma and sports medicine. As with all OPA care teams, our providers consult with each other and use their collective expertise to offer patients the most appropriate and effective treatment plans possible.
