Shoulder & Arm Injuries

Shoulder and arm injuries can have a significant impact on your life. Given the importance of using your arms and hands for everyday tasks, a shoulder injury can severely limit your ability to work, engage in activities, and live a normal life. While some shoulder injuries heal with time, others can lead to long-term damage and permanent issues.

If you’ve suffered a shoulder injury, seeking prompt, quality medical care is essential for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Medical documentation is also crucial if you’re pursuing a claim for compensation, as it helps establish the severity and nature of your injury.

At Moore Faust Injury Law Group, we specialize in helping individuals who have suffered shoulder injuries due to the negligence of others. Our goal is to ensure you receive fair and just compensation for your pain and suffering.

How Can a Shoulder Injury Occur?

Shoulder injuries can result from a variety of accidents, including auto accidents, truck collisions, and slip-and-fall incidents. The shoulder joint is highly mobile, allowing for a wide range of motion, but it is also vulnerable to injury. The area where the shoulder blade meets the collarbone is particularly susceptible to damage. Some common shoulder injuries include:

• Brachial plexus injury
• Broken arm
• Bursitis
• Dislocated shoulder
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Rotator cuff injury
• Separated shoulder
• Spinal cord injuries (sprains and strains)
• Tendinitis
• Tendon rupture
• Thoracic outlet syndrome
• Torn cartilage

Symptoms of a Shoulder Injury

Shoulder injuries often lead to significant pain and discomfort, along with other symptoms, including:

• Swelling or bruising around the shoulder area
• Limited mobility and pain with movement
• Weakness in the shoulder or arm
• A noticeable bump at the top of the shoulder

Shoulder Injury Diagnosis

While some shoulder injuries are visible, many require advanced imaging to fully understand the extent of the damage. Tools like CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays are commonly used to diagnose shoulder injuries and rule out other potential medical conditions.

Treatment Options for Shoulder Injuries

Treatment for shoulder injuries depends on the specific diagnosis. Common treatments include:

• Rest and ice therapy
• Pain medication and anti-inflammatory drugs
• Physical therapy and exercises to restore mobility
• Surgery in cases of severe injury, such as tendon ruptures or fractures
