Shoulder & Elbow
Shoulder and elbow pain
are extremely common complaints that have many
causes. Because we use our arms for so many common
activities, shoulder and elbow pain can cause
significant problems and have several different
causes.
Arthritis
is a major cause of shoulder pain. During
arthritis, the cartilage is worn away and the
protective lining between the bones is lost, causing
painful bone on bone friction and rubbing. Severe
shoulder arthritis is quite painful, and can cause
restriction of motion. Additionally, injury
resulting in strains and fractures can be another
cause for shoulder and elbow pain. In order for
proper treatment, the cause of the problem must be
identified, and then a treatment approach developed
and executed.

expertise in a broad spectrum of shoulder, elbow and
upper extremity problems, and employ the latest in
surgical and non-surgical techniques to treat these
problems. Our fellowship trained surgeon handles a
