Joseph R. Lynch, MD is a shoulder doctor at The Shoulder Clinic of Idaho. Dr. Lynch's basic philosophy in shoulder surgery is more of a conservative approach. Most patients that come to The Shoulder Clinic of Idaho think that they need surgery, but not all of the patients want surgery. For Dr. Lynch, that is an important key distinction. One of the first questions Dr. Lynch asks all of his patients is, "How can I help you today?" From the answer of this question, Dr. Lynch can determine if the patient has exhausted all forms of conservative measures and the last resort is a surgical treatment. There are occasions where Dr. Lynch asks that question and the patient does not want surgery.

Being familiar with treating a shoulder non-operatively, and knowing how that shoulder condition will respond to non-operative treatment is essential, because some patients prefer a non-operative approach. Dr. Lynch's goal is to make sure that he and his team provide everything they can to make the process run smoothly and efficiently. In order to do that, it requires effective communication, and participation on behalf of the patient and Dr. Lynch and his medical staff. For Dr. Lynch, all of those things are easily accomplishable. Medical care is more than just examining the injury, it is knowing who the patient is. The ability to know where a patient is coming from with respect to what condition they have and how it impacts their life is paramount in providing the appropriate care for the patient. Empowering patients in their own care is essential to success.

Dr. Lynch's job as a physician is to educate the patient on what happens from the surgical standpoint and what the goals are so that the patient has the ability to meet those goals. If the physician can identify the source of pain, and that source is mechanical, then oftentimes science and innovation can find a mechanical solution to correct the problem.

If the source of shoulder stiffness, shoulder pain, shoulder instability or weakness is present, there is not question in Dr. Lynch's mind that science and innovation will come up with a technique to help address the mechanical problem. Dr. Lynch's goal is to educate patients on what the mechanical issue is and what the mechanical solution is to fix the problem, and how the patient will get back in the game. Dr. Lynch is excited to join The Shoulder Clinic of Idaho, because the organization represents the highest quality of shoulder care in the state of Idaho and the surrounding region, and Dr. Lynch is hopeful that he can make a meaningful impact on the patients that come to The Shoulder Clinic of Idaho.
