When other therapies, such as medicine or physical therapy, have failed to manage or relieve discomfort, or when the shoulder cannot be utilized, shoulder replacement surgery (arthroplasty) is employed. It is advisable to work with a physical therapist before surgery if at all possible. The better your physical condition before surgery, the faster you will recuperate. Your physical therapist will design a program just for you. Shoulder, neck, and back muscular strengthening may be included. Stretching and posture training may also be included in your pre-surgery routine. If you're using opioids, talk to your doctor about tapering off of them before your operation.
