What Is Shoulder Pain Keeping You From?
Tell us which movements hurt and what you want to get back to doing. Your symptoms and examination guide the recommendations.
Reaching & Overhead Movement
Discomfort when reaching overhead, getting dressed, or reaching behind your back.
Lifting & Exercise
Shoulder pain that interrupts carrying, workouts, or the activities you enjoy.
Sleep & Everyday Comfort
Pain when lying on your side or stiffness that makes your usual routine difficult.
Start With an Evaluation.
Shoulder pain can involve rotator cuff tendons, joint stiffness, or other problems. We’ll review your symptoms, injury history, and previous care. Dr. Prieto examines your shoulder movement and strength and checks relevant neck or nerve findings when needed. We’ll explain your options and whether care here is appropriate. Imaging or referral may be recommended when needed.
A Plan Based on Your Shoulder.
Your plan may include guided mobility and strengthening, activity adjustments, and hands-on soft tissue care. Selected therapies such as focused shockwave or laser may be considered when appropriate for your diagnosis. We’ll explain the purpose, limitations, expected schedule, and costs before you begin. Results vary, and further medical or surgical care may be needed.

Questions Before You Book?
Can you help if I have a rotator cuff diagnosis?
Bring any imaging reports and details of previous care. We’ll review your findings before recommending care or referral. Treatment does not guarantee repair of a tear.
Is shockwave right for every shoulder problem?
No. Your diagnosis, examination, health history, and goals matter. We’ll discuss whether it is appropriate and explain other options and limitations.
When should I seek urgent medical care?
Seek urgent assessment for sudden severe pain, inability to move your arm, deformity, major swelling, persistent numbness, or fever with shoulder pain. Shoulder pain after an injury also needs prompt assessment.
