Expert Shoulder Care for Chronic Pain and Arthritis

Understanding Your Pain

Professor Steve Gwilym specialises in treating patients whose lives have been significantly impacted by shoulder pain, injury and arthritis. 

He understands that shoulder pain isn't just about discomfort – it affects every aspect of daily life, from disrupted sleep to limited mobility, and can take a toll on both physical and emotional well-being.

As one of the UK's leading shoulder surgeons, Professor Gwilym has particular expertise in helping patients who:

• Struggle to sleep due to shoulder pain
• Can't perform everyday tasks like dressing or reaching overhead
• Have difficulty with personal care and hygiene
• Experience constant aching or severe pain
• Feel their quality of life has diminished due to shoulder problems
• Are finding it difficult to achieve health and fitness goals because of shoulder pain
• Have tried previous treatments without success

Professor Gwilym is a recognised international expert on the topics of shoulder pain and shoulder trauma. He leads a number of research projects in these topics at the University of Oxford, and regularly runs training courses around the world where he teaches other surgeons about his clinical practice.
