This is part three of our series about the most common conditions we treat: foot and ankle; joint replacement and shoulder.

Shoulder treatments

Shoulder injuries are another common issue, especially among athletes. John Reister, MD, is an Orthopedic Specialists — Englewood board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulder treatments. Dr. Reister started his career as a US Army surgeon and now has nearly 30 years of experience in orthopedic surgeries.

Conrad underwent a total shoulder replacement with Dr. Reister several years ago. He was amazed to be back on the golf course so quickly. He explains, “I had a total shoulder replacement on Jan. 10 and was swinging a golf club on April 10, three months later! I had anticipated a long recovery process. This was about 1/3 of what I anticipated. Dr. Reister and staff did an outstanding job before, during, and after surgery; I wish l had done this procedure five years earlier. I am now pain free and have more mobility than I've had in years.”

Gordon, another golfer treated by Dr. Reister agrees, “If you want to increase the success in your outcome, Dr. Reister is the man. I even hit my drives longer.” Dr. Reister provides a full spectrum of shoulder treatments — from early sports medicine and stability to rotator cuff repair and shoulder replacement. While Dr. Reister is the go-to surgeon for shoulder treatments, he also performs knee procedures and other general orthopedic treatments.

The Orthopedic Specialists — Englewood team believes in the importance of an active lifestyle. All our providers have dedicated their careers to helping you regain and maintain your desired level of activity.
