Shoulders

This is a complex joint with a large range of motion, which makes it more susceptible to injuries. Shoulder injuries often occur from overuse, trauma or degeneration. Common treatable issues are AC separation, rotator cuff and labral tears, frozen shoulder, dislocation and arthritis. Treatment will be determined by the extent of the injury, often non-surgical with PT, meds, PRP or stem cells and if needed surgically using low invasive arthroscopy.

Dr. Ekstrand is a truly kind and professional physician who brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach to every visit. I especially appreciated how well she listened and how clearly she communicated throughout our appointment. As someone who understands tennis, she was able to relate to my concerns with insight and precision, which made a huge difference in my care. Highly recommended.

Dr. Christine Ekstrand is an excellent doctor. She is knowledgeable, caring, understanding, and calming. She took a lot of time with me to make sure I comprehended all I needed to know. I had shoulder surgery and because she is so awesome it was bearable. I am very grateful that I was referred by a friend to go to Dr. Ekstrand.

I sustained fractures from an accident and have spoken to a few providers, but Dr.Ekstrand has been the most validating, patient and kind by far. Our interaction was so refreshing and made me feel safe and seen in a time where there’s so much uncertainty and healing occurring. Thank you for all that you do for the community and your patients

Within the last 30 days I have had both shoulder and knee surgery with Dr Exstrand. I could not be happier with the results. I urge anyone that is looking for great orthopedic care/surgery to visit Dr. Exstrand.

The staff (Michelle you rock in every way ) was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Exstrand was not only highly efficient and knowledgeable but also took the “time” to address all my questions and concerns. I left the clinic feeling confident and elated in the care I received. If you're looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further than Dr.Christine’s Exstrand’s office. I promise you , you won’t be dissatisfied!!!! Thank you guys for making me whole again . 😄❤️🙏
