Hi all. 30 year old manual (sometimes motorized) wheelchair user here.
I think one of my shoulders has finally given out on me. My PCP gave me a perscription to go to an Orthopedic, but I'm wondering if I should specifcally go for a Sports Med. Doc or a rehab doc? does it even matter? I have Spina Bifida but have not had orthopedic issues since early early childhood and do not live near//nor choose to attend an adult Spina Bifida Clinic. Can anyone reccomend what kind of doc I should go see? and if anyone lives in the Gloucester/camden county area of Southern NJ. Does anyone have a reccomendation? Thanks in advance.

If you haven't already, you should post this on CareCure also. I am inclined to say go to a rehab doc, but that isn't necessarily true. I know some there on the CC messageboard have had shoulder issues. Good luck!
