Shoulder Injuries with Dr. Kaplan, the Jaguars Head Team Physician
Shoulder injuries are common in daily life and in sports. The shoulder is a complex joint which provides a wide range of motion. Injuries can be related to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, labrum and the bones of the joint. Please watch this video about injuries to the shoulder.
Dr. Kevin Kaplan at JOI’s San Marco clinic specializes in the treatment of orthopedic shoulder conditions. Please call 904-JOI-2000 or the San Marco office at (904) 858-7045.
Injuries
A strain in the shoulder is more common with throwing activity but it can also happen with a hard fall or unexpected impact. A strain in the shoulder may involve one of the Rotator Cuff Muscles. A shoulder injury may also hurt the cartilage around the shoulder joint called the labrum.
A hard fall on the arm can cause a dislocation of the shoulder. A dislocated shoulder is one of the worst sports injuries and is usually very painful and needs to be put back in place quickly by a doctor. Usually the pain is much better once it is back in the socket. A dislocation can cause tearing in the muscles, tendons, and cartilage of the shoulder.
