Best Adhesive Capsulitis Shoulder Doctors in Oxon Hill, MD

I believe that individualized comprehensive care involves treating the patient as a whole and not just the injury, taking into consideration your unique perspective and experiences. People can require musculoskeletal care from a myriad of reasons and at different stages of life. My goal is to help you understand your condition as well as all of the options available so that we together can make the best treatment plan to aid in your return to health and functionality. I understand that it is difficult when injury can prevent you from doing and enjoying the activities you love. It is my goal to provide the best possible care so that you can return to those activities as soon as possible.

I always try to fit the treatment to my patients, rather than the patient to my treatment. This is a shared decision making philosophy that I believe makes a successful outcome for you much more likely.

A native Virginian, Dr. Amanda Trucksess attended The College of William and Mary where she was a member of their Division I swim team. With a strong interest in athletics as well as human biomechanics and physiology, Dr. Trucksess graduated cum laude with a major in kinesiology. She went on to earn her medical degree from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond where she was named to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. Following medical school, she completed a four year residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (known as physiatry) is a sub-specialty of medicine that focuses on the restoration of function and the non-operative treatment of nerve, muscle, and bone disorders. Dr. Trucksess chose this specialty because it allowed her to integrate her interest in human physiology with her passion for patient care.
