Non-Surgical Options for Shoulder Arthritis

If your symptoms are mild to moderate, our orthopedists will suggest conservative measures for shoulder arthritis treatment. Many people can notice a significant improvement in their joint functions through non-invasive therapies. They may include:

  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Activity modification
  • Motion exercises/physiotherapy
  • Applying a hot or cold compress to the shoulder
  • Corticosteroid injections

Surgical Options We Offer For Shoulder Arthritis Treatment in Houston, TX

If your symptoms do not respond to conservative therapies, surgery may be your best option. Depending on the severity of your shoulder arthritis, our orthopedic surgeons may suggest one or more of the following surgeries:

  • Shoulder Joint Replacement
    In case of severe arthritis, you may need a complete replacement of the shoulder joint. This surgery involves the placement of a prosthetic shoulder joint that mimics the anatomy of your normal joint. An artificial cup is fitted, and a ball is connected to the top of the humerus (bone in the arm) to replace the ball and socket joint of your shoulder.
  • Reverse Shoulder Replacement
    In certain cases of shoulder arthritis, patients benefit from a reverse shoulder replacement. This procedure is the opposite of the conventional replacement, i.e., the ball is fixed to the shoulder socket and the cup is connected to the humerus. It can greatly improve the movement and functioning of your joints.
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy
    Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery in which our orthopedic surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a small instrument called an arthroscope. It allows us to visualize the structures inside your shoulder joint. With this procedure, we can safely remove the damaged arthritic tissues and enhance the mobility of your shoulder joints.

Patient Reviews

The staff is very professional and friendly. Dr. Cusick takes his time in explaining and going over any issues or concerns. Have not done much since the shoulder surgery for two months but I have not experienced ANY PAIN.

Tom Conklin

This is Iva Phillips. Very helpful visit today. Will be starting Therapy. Dr. Cusick took time to explain my problem and ways to try to prevent surgery.

Gilmer Phillips

Dr Cusick and his aide were very helpful with their assessment of my problem. They gave me alternative solutions to consider and showed me X-rays of my shoulder. I was surprised that we got in after a short wait. They took several X-rays and counseled with me in a very efficient manner. I was in and out in much less time than I had anticipated!

Jack Roland

AMAZING! Dr Cusick listened to me talk about my symptoms and pain. He talked to me rather than just look at my images. Later, he explained the images to me and together we agreed on a plan Of Action. 10/10

Peffley Nazlin

Thank you for a pleasant experience! The front office staff as well as the medical staff made me feel like family. They answered all my questions and I didn't feel rushed. The wait time was also less than 5 minutes of my scheduled appointment.

Very enjoyable experience, the people are super nice and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr Cusick and his team

Robert Peeler

If this surgery is a little frightening, I understand. I interviewed doctors until I was satisfied that the one I chose was right for me. The pain and restriction of movement in my left shoulder was debilitating. Dr. Michael Cusick is totally committed to his trade. Complete total reverse shoulder replacement.

Kyle Powell

Don't get me wrong there was hiccups and waiting to have surgery seemed like forever but Dr. Cusick, his office staff and the hospital staff especially has been amazing. They went above and beyond to get my surgery approved so we wouldn't have to put it off longer. Dr. Cusick keeps a positive outlook even at times...

Kathy Zenker
