Advanced Treatment of Musculoskeletal Diseases

ShoulderOrthopedic subspecialization has become an integral factor in the way we customize treatment for every patient. This is quite apparent when treating the shoulder where the delicate balance between soft tissue tension and stability are tenuous and intimately linked to range of motion and function

Rockford Orthopedic offers board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons with expertise in treating conditions of the shoulder. Our doctors are trained in the latest, minimally invasive procedures that allow faster recoveries with less pain. Complex fractures and degenerative conditions are addressed utilizing state-of-the-art reconstructive techniques and joint replacement of the shoulder is being done more frequently with excellent results.

At Rockford Orthopedic, we provide an unsurpassed full continuum of care from a team of surgeons, physiatrists, and physical and occupational therapists - each focused on the patient's successful recovery.
