Shoulder pain & injuries

Evaluation of shoulder pain and activity-related concerns in Farmington, CT. Discuss your options with Dr. Patel.

Start with your symptoms and activity

Reaching overhead, throwing, swimming, or strength training may bring a shoulder concern to your attention. Describe any weakness, loss of motion, or injury.

Clarify what needs treatment

Review prior rotator cuff, tendon, or joint diagnoses with your physician. Candidacy for a procedure depends on the type and extent of the problem.

Could regenerative care be part of the discussion?

A consultation can review whether PRP or another approach is reasonable for your diagnosis, together with rehabilitation, other nonsurgical options, or a referral when needed. Evidence varies by condition, and no procedure is guaranteed to restore tissue or return you to sport.

Bring the details that matter

Prepare relevant imaging reports, prior treatment records, a medication list, and the activities you want to work toward.
