The best surgery is the one you never need.
If shoulder pain is keeping you from sleeping, working out, throwing a ball with your kids, or doing the things you enjoy, don't assume your best first option is an MRI, injection, or surgery.
Many shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand conditions respond well to conservative treatment. Research has found that patients who access therapy directly often experience lower healthcare costs, fewer imaging studies, fewer medications, avoid surgeries and have excellent functional outcomes.
Through Direct Access, you can see our Upper Extremity Specialist without first scheduling an appointment with another provider. If it ultimately results in needing a consultation for a more aggressive intervention you will have more information to assist in your next best steps.
Our first job is to:
✅ Identify the source of your pain
✅ Create a plan to restore motion and strength
✅ Help you avoid unnecessary procedures when appropriate
✅ Determine when additional medical evaluation is needed
Don't spend weeks waiting to get started finding the answers.
Start with a specialist who understands how the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand are meant to move.
Call today to schedule your evaluation.
