Shoulder Arthroscopy Without Delay: How Canadians Are Reclaiming Mobility in Mexico

You can’t lift your arm.
You can’t sleep on your side.
Even putting on a shirt hurts.

And yet, in many parts of Canada, patients with serious shoulder injuries are told:

“Your MRI confirms the tear. You’re now on the list. Estimated wait: 12 to 24 months.”

Across Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, and British Columbia, thousands of Canadians with rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, or labral injuries are forced to live with pain while their condition worsens.

Now, more patients are discovering a faster, affordable, and high-quality alternative:

What Is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a small camera and micro-instruments to:

• Repair rotator cuff tears
• Remove inflamed tissue (bursitis)
• Release impinged tendons
• Smooth or remove bone spurs
• Repair labral or ligament damage

It’s often recommended for:

• Sports injuries
• Overuse or repetitive motion conditions
• Age-related wear and tear
• Patients with limited shoulder movement, pain, or night discomfort

The Canadian Healthcare Problem

While Canada offers excellent orthopedic care, access to it is often delayed—especially for “non-emergency” procedures like shoulder arthroscopy.

Realities many patients face:

• Waits of 12–24 months between diagnosis and surgery
• Delays even after imaging is approved
• Progressive pain, sleep disruption, and job limitations
• Worsening of the tear while waiting, leading to more complex surgery later

Many patients are told to “manage with physiotherapy and medication” while the clock runs.

Real Stories from Real Canadians
