Expert shoulder specialist near Benenden

The shoulder is a complex and mobile joint on the body. If you are based in Benenden and suffering from shoulder pain or lack of mobility, Mr Yanni can help. He provides a complete service for the assessment and treatment of shoulder orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Frozen Shoulder: This is a condition where the tissues surrounding the shoulder tighten. This can cause restricted shoulder movement and pain when completing everyday tasks.
  • Shoulder Impingement: This occurs when the bones of the shoulder impinge on the tendons or bursa in that area. It can cause pain and stop you from performing everyday activities, like reaching overhead.
  • Shoulder Instability & dislocation: In shoulder instability, the shoulder joint becomes loose and prone to recurrent dislocations. There are various treatment options available including physiotherapy or surgery.
  • Rotator Cuff Tear: The rotator cuff can be damaged through injury or wear and tear. Pain is felt in the shoulder and this may radiate down the arm to the elbow. It is often felt more acutely when completing certain tasks, such as lifting and reaching.
