Dealing with chronic shoulder pain or a recent injury that just won’t heal?

Struggling with chronic shoulder pain or a recent injury that just won’t heal? Whether you’re a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, active adult, or simply trying to get through the day without discomfort, Dr. Greg Takenishi offers expert rotator cuff repair surgery in Sacramento, California. Rotator cuff injuries are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and loss of mobility, particularly in individuals who lift, throw, or perform overhead movements as part of work, exercise, or daily life. These tears can occur gradually through overuse or suddenly from trauma. If left untreated, they can lead to ongoing inflammation, muscle weakness, and reduced range of motion. Over time, this makes it harder to sleep, reach overhead, or return to the activities you enjoy.

Dr. Greg Takenishi is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, providing advanced shoulder pain treatment for patients across the Greater Sacramento area. Known for his work with both professional and recreational athletes, Dr. Takenishi serves as the team physician for the Sacramento River Cats and brings over 15 years of experience treating rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, biceps tendon injuries, and other complex shoulder conditions. He specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopic shoulder surgery, which reduces recovery time and helps patients return to peak function more quickly. His use of advanced imaging and personalized recovery plans ensures optimal outcomes for every patient.
