Comprehensive and Personalized Treatments

We understand that upper extremity pain can keep you from living life to the fullest. We also know that treatment for your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders should never be one-size-fits-all. That’s why our team provides personalized and evidence-based treatment plans designed for you.

Before exploring surgical treatments, we’ll focus on non-operative treatment options that may include:

• Massage therapy
• Medication support
• Nutritional guidance
• Physical therapy
• Stress-reduction techniques

If surgery is your best next step, our team is well-versed in specialized procedures like:

• Carpal tunnel surgery
• Closed reduction and fixation to realign or set broken bones
• Debridement (removing damaged or infected tissue)
• Elbow joint replacement (elbow arthroplasty)
• Fasciotomy (releasing pressure or tension)
• Microvascular surgery
• Shoulder joint reconstruction and replacement
• Tommy John surgery (also called ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction) to repair a torn ligament in the elbow
