CHRONIC SHOULDER INSTABILITY | Because of its unique ball-and-socket design, the shoulder joint can facilitate arm lifting, rotation, and overhead reaching with multidirectional flexibility. However, this extensive range of motion can also lead to instability issues.

Shoulder instability arises when the upper arm bone's head is pushed out of its socket, which can occur suddenly due to an injury, such as a fall or an accident. Unfortunately, a dislocated shoulder is prone to repeated episodes of instability, leading to a condition known as chronic shoulder instability, where the joint remains loose and prone to recurrent dislocation.

If you believe you’re suffering from a shoulder injury or condition, such as chronic shoulder instability, request an appointment with one of our shoulder experts and find out how we can help!

🌷 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 🌷 | To the moms who keep us on our feet and lift us up, both literally and figuratively—thank you! 💖

DOCTOR SPOTLIGHT | “I had rotator cuff repair last year in October. I had heard all the horror stories about the pain involved, but I was unable to do the one thing in my life I am most passionate about: gardening. Dr. Giuseffi was my surgeon, and the procedure, while not painless, was with minimal pain. It did take about 5 months for strength to return to the shoulder, but I was able to sleep every night after surgery whereas before that I woke up repeatedly from pain nightly. This year, I am back to unloading pick-up loads of compost and shredded bark, hoeing, raking, digging, and of course, harvesting the flowers and vegetables I have grown. Last spring, I built 3 new raised beds, hammering away. Dr. Giuseffi did a fantastic job, has a wonderful bedside manner, and is a genuinely nice guy. My experience at Black Hills Orthopedic & Spine Center was wonderful, from the first minute at the reception desk to the nurses, surgery planners, and billing. Black Hills Orthopedic & Spine Center sets the bar high in providing patient care and is an example of excellence. I appreciate your help getting me back to my passion.” –Theresa N.
