An MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, uses a strong and powerful magnetic field along with radio waves and a computer to display up-close and detailed images of the body. This imaging can show ligaments, muscles, tendons, and bones to give orthopedic specialists at AICA Orthopedics an in-depth look at problem areas for accurate diagnosis and a proper course of treatment. The shoulder is one of the most powerful joints in the body. But because it is used so often, it can experience wear and tear, injury, or pain. A damaged shoulder can affect your ability to perform even the simplest of day to day tasks such as brushing your hair or putting away dishes. Lifting your arm for anything can become quite painful due to shoulder problems. When the pain manifests itself, it’s time to seek help from AICA Orthopedics. With everything you need conveniently located on-site at our orthopedic clinic, you can get the help you need all in one place, including a shoulder MRI.

MRI Scans for Shoulder Injuries
As one of the most complicated and mobile joints in the body, there are a variety of health concerns that can occur within the shoulder. For one, the shoulder joint can develop wear and tear over time, causing degeneration and leading to arthritis. The shoulder can also be dislocated and pulled out of joint. Sports injuries of the shoulder are common as well. Ligament tears, shoulder sprain, or broken bones can lead to chronic pain if not addressed. Any sign of decreased range of motion in the shoulder is a sign that something could be wrong. If you experience pain or injury of the shoulder, an MRI can help determine the source of the pain so that orthopedic specialists know exactly what treatment plan to incorporate to help you find healing and relief.
What to Expect from an MRI Scan
When you consult with an orthopedic specialist at AICA Orthopedics, you can guarantee you will receive the very best in care for shoulder pain or injury. Our orthopedic specialists utilize every resource available to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment. One important resource that our AICA Orthopedics clinic offers is on-site high tech imaging scans. After an initial consultation, your orthopedic specialist can send you to receive an MRI scan to get a clear picture of exactly what is going on inside the shoulder. You will lie on your back as a technician slides you through the tube-like MRI machine, focusing on the shoulder to produce detailed images. Some MRI scans may require a contrast dye to be inserted into the bloodstream first. A typical MRI can take 45 minutes to an hour to complete. The machine may be loud, but technicians can provide earplugs or even music to block out the noise and help you relax during the process. After orthopedic specialists receive the scans, they can use the images to move forward with an individualized treatment plan that meets your needs to ease pain and provide relief.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide.
Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking.
The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish.
Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park.
Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone.
Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
