Whether you’re pushing, pulling or lifting things over your head, your shoulder is a key player in physical activity. Pain in this joint, which has the greatest range of motion of all the joints in your body, can be caused by injuries, overuse or changes that happen as we age. Given the complexities of the shoulder, skilled care is vital. Let our team of specialists provide a quick diagnosis and customized treatment plan to help you feel better, faster.
Because of its larger range of motion and complexity, the shoulder joint is particularly prone to injury from sports, overuse or long-term degeneration. But you don’t have to let shoulder pain keep you from enjoying your life.
Our surgeons work with in-house physical therapists specializing in shoulder pain to develop customized treatment plans designed to speed your recovery. Whether you require surgery, non-invasive treatments or a unique combination to treat your condition, we work with you to achieve the best possible outcome.
Our Forté Fast Orthopedic Care locations are open regularly for walk-in appointments in cases of sports or other sudden injuries that don’t show signs of immediate emergency.

At Forté, our orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists are specialists, and we believe in customizing treatment plans for each patient.
