Elbow and shoulder injuries can keep you from enjoying an active, pain-free lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with elbow pain, shoulder pain, or more complex upper-extremity conditions, our orthopedic specialists provide both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for patients from the fingertip to the shoulder.
Many individuals experience overuse conditions such as tennis elbow or golfers elbow, both of which can significantly limit movement and function. Some patients may also suffer from elbow pain disease related to inflammation, tendon irritation or repetitive strain. For shoulder issues, conditions like frozen shoulder can make even simple daily tasks difficult, while athletes or active individuals may struggle with discomfort during shoulder workouts, especially exercises like the shoulder press or dumbbell shoulder press.
Many upper extremity injuries can be treated nonsurgically with therapy, injections and splinting. However, patients requiring surgery – such as a shoulder replacement – can feel confident that their specialist has advanced training in all upper extremity orthopedic conditions.
We offer wide awake local anesthesia for many outpatient surgeries and will perform arthroscopic surgery of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Our orthopedic surgeons can also see patients seeking total shoulder replacement.
Summa Health orthopedic surgeons also care for patients needing total shoulder replacement or treatment for complex causes of elbow pain and shoulder pain.
