Comprehensive Shoulder & Elbow Care

Placentia-Linda Hospital provides comprehensive care for shoulders that hurt, from diagnosis of the problem to treatment and rehabilitation to help you regain a fuller range of function. Orthopedic physicians, nurses, and other specialists work together closely as a team to provide these patient care services:

• Advanced diagnostic imaging to assess the root cause of shoulder stiffness or inflammation
• Medical and surgical treatments customized for each patient for conditions ranging from fractures and dislocations to bursitis and tendonitis
• Minimally invasive surgical procedures and shoulder replacement procedures for faster recovery
• A complete rehabilitation program to facilitate movement and recovery
• Support from our team of professionals who will guide you through your shoulder care journey from the very beginning to treatment and recovery
