Rotator Cuff
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that keep your shoulder stable and allow for smooth movement. Injuries to the rotator cuff, whether from wear and tear or sudden trauma, can lead to pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating your arm. Common in athletes, laborers, and those with repetitive shoulder use, these injuries range from mild inflammation to complete tears. Treatment options include physical therapy, injections, and in severe cases, surgical repair. At Dr. Romanelli’s practice, we focus on personalized care to restore strength, mobility, and function so you can move comfortably again.

Arthritis
Shoulder arthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the bones in the shoulder joint wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. It can result from aging, injury, or overuse, and it commonly affects the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder. Symptoms include pain with movement, swelling, and difficulty with everyday tasks like lifting or reaching. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to injections, and in more severe cases, surgical options like joint replacement. At Dr. Romanelli’s practice, we offer tailored treatments to manage symptoms and improve function, helping you maintain an active and pain-free lifestyle.
SLAP Tear
A SLAP tear refers to a tear in the cartilage of the shoulder called the labrum, where the upper part (superior) of the labrum is torn from the bone. This type of tear often occurs due to repetitive overhead motions, trauma, or shoulder dislocations. Symptoms include pain in the shoulder, a feeling of instability, difficulty throwing, or a catching sensation when moving the arm. Treatment options may include physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and improve stability, but in more severe cases, surgery may be required to repair the tear. At Dr. Romanelli’s practice, we provide expert care to address SLAP tears and help you return to pain-free, functional shoulder movement.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder occurs due to inflammation and scarring of the shoulder's connective tissue. It typically develops gradually and can severely limit range of motion. Common causes include injury, surgery, or conditions like diabetes, but it can also occur without any clear reason. Symptoms include pain, especially when reaching or rotating the arm, and a gradual decrease in shoulder mobility. Treatment at Dr. Romanelli’s practice focuses on reducing pain and restoring movement through physical therapy, medications, and, in some cases, surgical intervention. With the right care, most patients can expect significant improvement in mobility and function.
The clavicle, or collarbone, connects the shoulder to the chest and plays a vital role in arm movement and stability. Clavicle injuries, such as fractures or dislocations, often result from falls, direct impact, or sports injuries. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the arm. While many clavicle fractures heal with rest, immobilization, and physical therapy, severe cases may require surgical intervention. At Dr. Romanelli’s practice, we provide expert evaluation and treatment to ensure proper healing, helping you regain strength and mobility as quickly and safely as possible.
