Shoulder in Merrillville, Indiana
Shoulder injuries from car accidents, falls, and workplace trauma are a leading cause of upper extremity disability. Merrillville Injury Care provides comprehensive shoulder injury evaluation, treatment, and arthroscopic surgery in Merrillville, Indiana.
Shoulder Injuries We Treat
Common shoulder injuries treated at our facility include rotator cuff tears (partial and complete), labral tears and SLAP lesions, shoulder impingement syndrome, AC joint separations, shoulder dislocations and instability, biceps tendon tears, and frozen shoulder. These injuries result from direct impact, seatbelt forces in car accidents, falls onto an outstretched arm, and repetitive overhead work.

Our shoulder evaluation includes physical examination with provocative testing, digital X-ray, and MRI coordination. Conservative treatment options include physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and PRP therapy. When surgery is required, Dr. Rerri performs arthroscopic shoulder surgery including rotator cuff repair, labral repair, subacromial decompression, and AC joint reconstruction at our onsite surgery center.
