Impingement is a widely recognized cause of shoulder pain and potentially one of the most overdiagnosed conditions in the history of medicine. The premise of impingement is a spur grows on the underside of one of the primary shoulder bones (acromion) and causes mechanical irritation and/or damage to the underlying rotator cuff tendons. While this does happen, it happens far less frequently than previously thought. Often, what is called impingement, is an inherent inflammatory or degenerative condition of the rotator cuff tendon itself. This is an important distinction to make as spur removal in this setting will not solve the problem, leading to an unsuccessful surgery and recovery. Rotator cuff tendonitis is typically most successfully treated with a nonsurgical approach. Even when it is actually present, true impingement can often be treated with nonsurgical means. When these fail, surgical removal of the spur typically results in relatively rapid resolution of the problem.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Frush to my family and friends. I just gave his card to someone today, because the person needs knee surgery and needed a good doctor. Dr. Frush is an excellent doctor and very caring.
Had a total hip replacement with Dr. Knesek. I am amazed how fast my recovery was and I would 100% recommend him for your surgeon. His staff is also amazing and very helpful and informative. Thank you for making me feel like myself again. So appreciate you all!!
What a pleasant person I am so lucky that I was referred to this doctor he is so friendly and intelligent goes the extra mile to explain to his patients and pin point the condition exactly and treated I went to him having so much pain in my hip and hamstring muscle with in three weeks I am pain free.
Dr. Bak is not only a good doctor but he is also a good human being. He talked to me on a level like no other doctor I seen and I went to a few before choosing him.
