Shoulder pain makes ordinary daily actions difficult: reaching overhead, dressing, fastening a seatbelt or turning in sleep. Many patients in Wakad and Hinjewadi delay treatment, expecting the pain to resolve on its own. When they do not seek help, conditions like frozen shoulder can progress to severe structural restriction that takes months of treatment to reverse.
Dr. Pravin Deokate at Sunshine Ortho Pain Superspeciality Hospital evaluates shoulder pain using clinical examination and targeted imaging. With 25 years of orthopedic experience and a Fellowship in Pain Management, he tailors treatment to the specific diagnosis. Patients with advanced shoulder arthritis that does not respond to conservative care may be candidates for reverse shoulder replacement surgery, which Dr. Deokate performs at Sunshine Hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Frozen shoulder involves thickening and tightening of the shoulder joint capsule, severely restricting movement. It progresses through three stages over 12 to 36 months. At Sunshine Hospital, Wakad, treatment includes corticosteroid injections, physiotherapy and manipulation under anaesthesia in resistant cases.
Partial tears often respond to physiotherapy and corticosteroid injections. Complete tears in young active patients from Hinjewadi who want to maintain sporting activity generally require surgical repair. Dr. Deokate evaluates each patient's tear size, age and functional demands before recommending a pathway.
Without treatment, frozen shoulder persists for 18 to 36 months before natural resolution. Residual stiffness often remains even after natural recovery. Early treatment at Sunshine Hospital, Wakad significantly shortens the painful phase and improves the final range of shoulder movement.
Reverse shoulder replacement exchanges the ball-and-socket positions of the joint components. The ball is placed on the shoulder blade side and the socket on the upper arm bone. This design allows the deltoid muscle to restore function when the rotator cuff is severely damaged. Dr. Pravin Deokate performs this procedure at Sunshine Hospital, Wakad.
Seek urgent assessment if shoulder pain follows a fall or direct impact, if the shoulder is visibly deformed, if numbness or weakness extends into the arm or if the pain is severe and completely unresponsive to rest and medications. These signs may indicate a dislocation or fracture.
