Shoulder Conditions Archives - Page 2 of 5 - Jeffrey Padalecki MD | Orthopedic Shoulder Knee Hip Specialist

The shoulder is a highly active joint that offers the greatest range of motion in the human body. We rely on the shoulder joint to help us perform countless everyday activities, so when shoulder pain and shoulder weakness prevents us from completing simple tasks, medical treatment is usually recommended. Degenerative diseases and other common conditions of the shoulder, such as arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis can create pain and weakness for patients, and if left untreated, can lead to bigger problems. Direct trauma to the shoulder, such as a sternoclavicular joint injury or dislocation, often requires surgical intervention. Dr. Padalecki is skilled to treat a number of shoulder conditions, and when surgery is recommended, you can depend on his entire team to offer the best care and surgical approach to treat and manage your injury.

Shoulder injuries are usually classified in three common areas: athletic injuries, traumatic injuries, and degenerative and arthritic conditions.

AC Joint Injury

AC Joint Injury Overview The AC (acromioclavicular) joint is located in the shoulder where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the acromion process of the shoulder blade (scapula).

Total shoulder replacement March 24, 2022

In my opinion, Dr. Padalecki, is an outstanding surgeon. His expertise, bedside manners and staff assistance are exceptional. He is detail-oriented and very caring about wellbeing of his patient. Detail to my health before surgery and after the surgery assured my trust in him.
Regardless of my age, post-surgery care and physical therapy allowed for the timely recovery. Six months later, I as able to move my arm higher than 20 years ago. Now, almost year later, I am able to return to my hobbies of gardening and working on the yard. Most importantly my sleep is no longer being interrupted by the shoulder pain.
If you need a GREAT surgeon, don't hesitate to choose Dr. Padalecki.

Excellent Surgeon/Staff

Dr. Padalecki is an outstanding surgeon. He is a perfectionist, detail-oriented, and he takes the time to address any concerns you have. I had right rotator cuff surgery/cleaned out right shoulder nine days ago, and I haven't felt this great in years other than soreness from the shoulder healing. I have overused my right shoulder in sports, etc. all of my life, and I have suffered with severe neck/ shoulder pain and weakness in my right arm/hand for about seven years. When I was awake after my surgery, I noticed that I didn't have any more pain in the neck or shoulder. Also, the next day, my hands were completely strong again. I know this type of surgery involves a long recovery, but I am amazed at how quickly I am healing and the small incisions. On top of Dr. Padalecki's expertise, his staff are wonderful! Go see him! Don't put off surgery, if you need it, as I did. You are in great hands with him!

The past year I had fractured my femur and was unable to walk. I had gone to several Drs who didn’t have a good bedside manner and had also misdiagnosed me saying I had tendinitis and one gave me a cream to use for pain which burned and blustered my leg. When I met Dr. Padaleki I was so blessed to have found him. He is such a wonderful Dr. he listens and cares and gives you his full attention. I have done everything he has told me and I’m able to walk on my leg. I’m so thankful to God for sending him my way. He is the very best Dr. his nurses are the best and care so much about me. Thank you Dr. Padaleki for all you do for me. Aka - I have nicknamed him Jesus cause he looks like Jesus to me!
