Welcome to our shoulder site

森大祐

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have visited our homepage.

Dr. Mori has relieved many domestic patients suffering from shoulder joint disease from shoulder pain since its opening.
Most patients who have shoulder clinic due to shoulder joint disease cannot make accurate diagnosis.
Dr. Mori’s office was opened based on various clinical cases and research achievements in Kyoto Shimogamo hospital Hospital for 10 years, and over 10 years have passed since then and more than 40,00 operations have been performed since his carrer. He treats every type of shoulder damage, pain and mobility problem
 
He devoted himself to the study of the shoulder joints to think and treat the patient like my family, and this research effort has made it the first Japanese to be included in several papers. Please see our paper works.
 
Dr. Mori have trained under the world’s leading centers (Funabashi Orthopaedic Hospital in Chiba, Japan and Rothman Institute in Philadelphia, USA) are united by a common ethos in tailoring all treatments to the individual, whether you are an international athlete or you are struggling to perform your day to day activities.
In many cases advice, physiotherapy or an injection will resolve your symptoms. When surgery is required, the latest evidence based key hole or open surgery techniques are used.
 

Our mission

Dr.Mori’s Clinic was formed by three dedicated shoulder and elbow surgeons who share a passion for providing the best and most up to date care for shoulder and elbow disorders.
In many cases advice, physiotherapy or an injection will resolve your symptoms. When surgery is required, the latest evidence based key hole or open surgery techniques are used.
 
The purposes of this home page are shown as follows;
 

  1. To broaden shoulder knowledge to common people by avoid the technical terms as much as possible. Namely, we explain them briefly.
  2. To show our shoulder evidence to patients who are suffering from shoulder injuries. We use our data based on published papers including Dr. Mori’s work, and case presentation by imaging, patient’s photos and interview.

 
The shoulder is more sensitive than most of us think. Its extraordinary range of motion and primary point of articulation for the entire arm put it at risk for a variety of injuries. These include: arthritis, nerve damage, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder fractures and dislocations.
We Review Options Together to Make the Best Decision
Our goal is to help you return to your healthy, productive life. A quarterback for a pro football team will have a different course of care than a 75 year old grandmother struggling with rotator cuff problems. Therapy can play a dramatic role for many shoulder injuries and arthroscopic surgery provides new minimally invasive options for relief. Advanced surgery, joint replacements and tendon transplants represent some of the shoulder repairs we've pioneer.
 

Advanced Care for Athletes with Shoulder Injuries

For professional and amateur athletes and active enthusiasts, we are proud to offer total care for the complete range of sports-related shoulder injuries. The shoulder is sensitive. There are many moving parts woven together in a complex network of nerves, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, cartilage, blood vessels and bone. A small inflammation or tear can literally shut down the shoulder.
 

Some of the shoulder injuries we treat include:

  • Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Separation / Arthritis
  • Arthritis
  • Bicep Tendonitis
  • Bicep Tendon Ruptures
  • Calcific Tendinitis
  • Cartilage (Labral) Tears
  • Dislocation
  • Fractures
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Impingement Syndrome
  • Ligament Sprains / Strains / Tears
  • Long Head of the Biceps Rupture
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Shoulder Instability
  • Shoulder Separation
  • Tendon Injuries
  • Winged Scapula

 
Our doctors integrate all aspects of specialized care by collectively combining their knowledge, experience, and expertise as the foundation of the Shoulder Center at Southern California Orthopedic Institute.
Our specialty-trained orthopedic surgeons have dedicated their practices to this specialized field of study. With their commitment to continued education through attending courses, lecturing, writing, and actively learning the newest procedures and techniques, our surgeons are some of the most highly skilled elbow surgeons in the area.

Welcome! I am Dr Daisuke MORI who specialize in shoulder joint disorder in Kyoto Shoulder and Sports Clinic.  This website aims to help you to understand your shoulder problems using illustrations and images, also to introduce several treatments which may be applied to your condition.
 
You will easily find various shoulder diseases, treatment options, possible complications after surgery.
Here is a gateway to search for information classified by several topics as follows;

Why shoulder problems?

 
 
The shoulder joint has the largest range of motion among human joints.

Shoulder problems

 
 
There are various diseases and conditions that affect the shoulder.
 

Shoulder joint features

 
 
The shoulder is an essential joint for leading a meaningful life.

Surgery

 
 
For those who are recommended surgery by a doctor but are still unsure, I would like to share one of the approaches I use during outpatient consultations.
 

Artificial Joints

 
 
For patients with shoulder osteoarthritis who do not experience sufficient relief with conservative treatments and wish to reduce pain and improve mobility, we recommend shoulder joint replacement surgery.
 

Arthroscopic Surgery

 
 
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat shoulder joint conditions. It involves making small incisions through which a tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint. The surgeon performs the procedure while viewing the inside of the shoulder on a video monitor.

 

Treatment Policy

 
 
We begin by identifying the main issue through an outpatient interview — for example, is the problem pain? Limited movement? Shoulder instability? Based on this, we proceed with a thorough examination.
 

Flow of Medical Consultation

 
 
Patient interview → Physical evaluation (including assessment of pain and severity when moving the shoulder) → Treatment of inflammation → Prescription of physical therapy → Imaging studies such as MRI → Surgery.
