Shoulder

Shoulder pain is caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and some sports injuries.

We undertake a number of different shoulder procedures at our York and Bridlington sites, including some arthroscopy procedures which are done through a telescope.

If you damage your shoulder in an accident and require emergency surgery, this is done at our trauma centres in York and Scarborough.
