Shoulder and Elbow Pain Orthopedic Treatment
A Personalized Approach
Our board-certified specialists are nationally and internationally recognized as clinical and research leaders in orthopedics. With expertise in treating shoulder and elbow pain, our specialists perform more than 300 surgeries annually, achieving a low rate of complications or infections. This reflects the high-quality care we provide to patients seeking relief from pain and improved mobility.
To further support recovery, we offer a comprehensive rehabilitation program tailored to help reduce pain and restore function, including acute rehab, sub-acute rehab, home care, and outpatient therapy. With some of the most experienced surgeons in New Jersey, we are committed to helping you reclaim a pain-free life.
Treatment Options for Shoulder and Elbow Pain
We regularly treat problems such as shoulder fractures, shoulder instability, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, SLAP lesions, tennis elbow, and the pain associated with these conditions.
Since many orthopedic problems have more than one treatment option, our surgeons work closely with specialists in other fields to ensure that every patient receives exactly the right kind of treatment for their pain and condition. Our goal is the same as yours — to restore your function and range of motion so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy free of shoulder and elbow pain.
