Orthopedic Upper Extremity Care

The tendons in our upper extremities work overtime, helping us perform important tasks all day, every day. When they are injured, it can severely impact the use of our fingers and hands. Our experienced team will help you regain function and get back to the things you love.

If bursitis, impingement, or tendinitis are causing you rotator cuff pain, everyday tasks can become incredibly difficult. Our knowledgeable team are experts in diagnosing and treating shoulder impingements, offering expert non-surgical care and personalized rotator cuff repair.

Our shoulders have the greatest range of motion of any joint in our bodies­­–they’re the reason we can rotate our arms in so many directions and do a wide-variety of activities. But, this range of motion results in less stability, which can be caused by overuse or sudden injury. Our experts will help you regain function and stability with treatments individualized to your needs.

The ulnar nerve allows for straightening and bending and forearm rotation, and runs from your neck all the way down into your hand. When your ulnar nerve becomes compressed or irritated, you may experience numbness, grip weakening, or muscle wasting. The providers at the Upper Extremity Program will diagnose and treat your nerve entrapment with non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
