The neck is very prone to injuries from the way I look at it, it is pretty much of a setup. Your head is a size of bowling ball and your neck is a size of the golf tee. Over time, the weight and strain that your head provides to your neck causes obvious changes as we age. It is more or less baked in the cake that you will develop some arthritis in your neck and is considered a part of nature aging.
The shoulder is particularly vulnerable to injury for it is not considered a very stable joint. In order for the shoulder to do all the mobility that is required, it has to move in all planes of range of movement. This complex movement involves many different types of muscle and joint functions including your collarbone, your scapula, and your rotator cuff in what are termed accessory muscles to help your arm move.
Bursitis of the shoulder essentially involves a structure that sits on top of the rotator cuff protecting it from the bone above called the acromion. Frequently, people develop bursitis in their shoulder and have classic symptoms of decreased range of motion and pain at rest and have especially a hard time getting to sleep at night for it is hard to move your arm to pull up the covers or put it underneath the pillow.
Muscles sometimes receive abnormal signals which cause them to remain in spasm for prolonged periods of time. In these situations, the actual makeup of the muscle changes and becomes more like scar tissue. When this happens, you have chronic pain that can last for months to years. This pain can frequently be treated.
The elbow joint is here again a very complex joint. It does not only move up and down like a hinge but it spins and is prone to frequent injuries. Tennis elbow is the most common. Essentially that condition develops when the tendon that attaches to the outside portion of your elbow is partially torn off, it tries to heal back, it is torn again and produces chronic pain in your elbow leaving scar tissue.

DR. Herzog is the best at what he does. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and has a good bedside manner, which helps when your having a procedure done. I have recommended several people to him. All have said they like him, and were very satisfied with their visit. Give his office a try, you'll be glad you did.

I have been receiving PRP treatments for my arthritic knees for the past 3 - 4 years. Although PRP does not cure arthritis, it helps rebuild tissue and substantially reduce the pain. The single biggest benefit it that I have not had to undergo knee replacement surgery, when that seemed to be inevitable before I started taking PRP treatments. Dr Herzog has always been professional in discussing alternatives and keeping me up to date on current treatments.

Dr. Herzog is the kind of doc that used to be ubiquitous: honest, professional, and not afraid to tell you what you need to hear. Have been treated twice for shoulder issues. Both times I've gotten relief from pain and flexibility. I highly recommend him and his practice for anyone seeking orthopaedic care with a D.O. orientation.
