Symptoms and Treatments for Shoulder Fractures

At Barrington Orthopedic Specialists, our team of orthopedic specialists are here to provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for shoulder fractures. We offer evidence-based treatments designed to bring relief and promote healing after a shoulder fracture.

Unsure if your shoulder is broken? Here are some of the most common symptoms and the associated treatments:

• Pain and Swelling: Shoulder fractures often cause pain and swelling around the affected area. The first step in treatment may involve pain management and anti-inflammatory medication to alleviate symptoms.
• Limited Mobility: A fractured shoulder can impair your range of motion. Our team will work with you to gradually restore movement through physical therapy and, if necessary, consider surgical intervention.
• Bruising and Deformity: Visible bruising or changes in the appearance of your shoulder may indicate a fracture. Barrington Orthopedic Specialists provide both conservative and surgical treatment options, depending on the fracture type and severity.
• Immobilization: One of the most common treatments for shoulder fractures is immobilization using a sling or a shoulder brace. This helps support and protect the injured area, allowing for proper healing.

The team at BOS is passionate about using non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, but we also understand the importance of surgical intervention in some cases. Our goal is to restore full range of motion and pain-free movement of your shoulder as quickly as possible. We strive to ensure that you are able to return to all activities with minimal disruption.
