Conditions We Treat

Rely on us to treat a wide range of shoulder and elbow conditions, including:

• Bone and joint conditions like fractures and shoulder or elbow arthritis
• Dislocated joints that get forced out of place from injuries
• Unstable joints that slip or give out when you move
• Nerve problems, such as cubital tunnel syndrome (nerve compression)
• Tendon and soft tissue injuries like rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, and bicep tendon damage
• Problems that happen after surgery

Diagnosis & Evaluation

To help determine the cause of your shoulder or elbow pain, your care team will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. Your provider will examine your shoulder or elbow to check your range of motion and strength, and look for signs of injury.

You may need imaging tests so that your doctor can diagnose the issue inside your joint. After your exam, your orthopedic doctor will explain what’s causing your symptoms, answer your questions, and create your treatment plan.
