Many people suffering from shoulder pain are turning to Medical Tourism for their surgical procedures. Whether it is acute bursitis, tendonitis, damaged cartilage, a torn labrum, joint impingement, a fractured collarbone, shoulder dislocation, or arthritis, there are excellent solutions to be found in hospitals abroad. As an example, thousands of patients with rotator cuff injuries have been treated in foreign hospitals through arthroscopic procedures that have provided them with relief and total recovery.

Shoulder surgery is a very common and safe procedure that is performed when the shoulder becomes unresponsive to other forms of treatment. When the joint begins to wear out and lose function, surgery is a viable option for regaining joint health once again.

Because of the overwhelming rise in healthcare costs in the United States, shoulder surgery can cost up to $48,000. In countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, and India this same surgery will cost between $8,000 and $12,500. And this is not a discount rate for discount facilities. Instead you will be getting the highest quality treatment at hospitals that are accredited by the United States Joint Commission, which often are affiliated with such hospitals as Harvard Medical and Johns Hopkins. In these and other countries, surgeons have performed thousands of shoulder surgeries, with their formative training having taken place in the US, Canada, or Europe. With world-class facilities, cutting edge technologies, you will be treated by the finest medical teams in the world. Additionally, foreign countries are famous for treating patients as valued individuals, instead of just numbers.

If you can’t tolerate a long waiting list, having your surgery done abroad is ideal as most of the time you can undergo your treatment immediately. Arranged by a medical tourism professional who acts as your intermediary, all events related to your hospital stay and trip will be designed with ease. This means planning all medical and logistical elements that are required.
