Struggling with shoulder pain at night? Many people experience worsening discomfort when lying down or sleeping on their side, and it can be a sign of rotator cuff irritation, bursitis, arthritis, or impingement. At The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of San Antonio, we help patients understand why nighttime shoulder pain happens and how to find lasting relief from shoulder pain caused by sleep.

It's not just painful when your shoulder dislocates - it can have a serious impact on your mobility and long-term joint health as well. Our shoulder specialists explain the three main types of shoulder dislocations: anterior, posterior, and inferior. Learn how to recognize each type, what symptoms to watch for, and treatment options that can help you recover and prevent future injuries.

Everyone, from the elite athlete to the average individual, can sustain a shoulder injury. There are several common shoulder injuries, and each has its own causes, symptoms, and treatment plan. If you've suffered a shoulder injury, your treatment plan needs to treat the negative symptoms and address the issue at the source. A custom-tailored treatment plan designed for your specific shoulder injury will restore full function and mobility to your shoulder and promote optimal healing so that you can live pain-free.
