Don treats Subacromial Bursitis, or Shoulder Bursitis, with cortisone injections that often cure symptoms completely. Typical cost is under $100 including the injection!
You will need an assessment to make sure nothing else is going on, such as a complete tear of your rotator cuff. But even partial tears respond well. Before you consider surgery, come see us!
