Posts: 26 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 is new and so I don't totally trust her yet seeing as we don't know eachother. She 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.
