Expert Shoulder Surgery in Manchester & Cheshire

From rotator cuff repairs to shoulder replacements, our specialist surgeons use the latest techniques to restore your shoulder function and eliminate pain.

Shoulder Conditions We Treat

Our shoulder specialists have extensive experience treating the full range of shoulder conditions, from sports injuries to degenerative disease.

Rotator Cuff Tears

Tears in the group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, causing pain and limited movement.

Frozen Shoulder

Stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint that typically develops gradually and worsens over time.

Shoulder Impingement

Pain when you raise your arm, caused by shoulder muscles rubbing on nearby tissue and bone.

Shoulder Arthritis

Wear and tear of the cartilage in your shoulder joint causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Shoulder Instability

When the shoulder joint is too loose and slides around too much, often due to previous dislocations.

AC Joint Problems

Injuries or arthritis affecting the acromioclavicular joint at the top of the shoulder.

Surgical & Non-Surgical Treatments

Many shoulder conditions can be treated without surgery. When surgery is needed, our specialists use arthroscopic (keyhole) techniques wherever possible for faster recovery.

FAQ

Recovery varies by procedure. Arthroscopic procedures may allow return to light activities in 2-4 weeks, while shoulder replacements typically require 3-6 months for full recovery.

Many shoulder conditions respond well to physiotherapy, steroid injections, or other non-surgical treatments. We always explore conservative options first and only recommend surgery when it’s the best path to recovery.

 

Most patients regain excellent shoulder function after surgery, especially with proper rehabilitation. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations based on your specific condition.
