Pain, popping, or weakness during certain shoulder movements can be more than “just sore shoulders”.

A SLAP injury means the superior labrum - the cartilage ring around the shoulder socket - has been detached. This often happens from forceful pulls on the biceps tendon, heavy lifting, or trauma, and can cause clicking, catching, or pain with use.

Because symptoms overlap with other shoulder conditions, accurate diagnosis and specialist evaluation are essential before determining the best course of treatment. At Focus Shoulder Specialists, we guide you through both non-surgical and surgical options as needed, starting with a precise assessment.

Understanding the injury first helps tailor the most effective approach.

Take care this long weekend 🛠️ With all those odd jobs piling up, especially anything on the roof, make safety a priority.

Gino learnt this the hard way after a 3m fall through his carport, which lead to a shoulder reconstruction with Dr Dan.

The good news? He’s on the mend and will be back to tackling jobs around the house in no time! 💪

Persistent shoulder stiffness or aching that doesn’t improve may reflect gradual joint change - including arthritis. Shoulder arthritis involves breakdown of the cartilage that normally allows smooth movement between joint surfaces.

As the joint surfaces become irregular and cartilage wears away, movement can become uncomfortable and limited. Not all stiffness is arthritis, but understanding the underlying joint health is key to selecting the right path forward.

At Focus Shoulder Specialists, we assess joint health carefully, explain what we find, and help you choose the most appropriate management - from conservative support to surgical solutions when indicated.

Measured evaluation leads to better decisions.

Does your shoulder ever feel like it might slip, shift, or “give way”?

Shoulder instability occurs when the ball of the shoulder moves out of its socket during motion - either from a traumatic event or from repeated motion that stretches the stabilising ligaments. Partial displacement (subluxation) can cause shifting sensations, while full displacement requires prompt care.

Because instability can involve associated injuries to ligaments, cartilage or the labrum, accurate assessment is essential before deciding on a treatment pathway.

At Focus Shoulder Specialists, we combine careful clinical evaluation with imaging where needed, then guide you through targeted options - from strength-focused rehabilitation to surgical stabilisation when appropriate.

Precise assessment first. Then the right plan.
