Non-Surgical Treatments

Orthopedic surgeons often recommend that patients explore non-surgical treatments first when they experience hand, arm or shoulder pain. These treatments may include:

  • Bracing and splinting: We can develop custom braces and splints that support and immobilize the upper extremity, promoting healing and preventing further injury.
  • Pain management: We provide various non-surgical pain management options, including medications and injections to help control pain and inflammation in the upper extremities.
  • Physical therapy: The interdisciplinary team works with patients to improve flexibility, strength and function in the shoulder, arm, wrist and hand.

Technology and Innovation

We are proud to offer robotic-assisted, minimally invasive joint replacement surgery. The benefits of robotic-assisted surgery often include:

  • Less postoperative pain
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Quicker recovery

The surgeons are trained in robotic-assisted techniques and advanced technology to ensure the best results for you. If you are considering surgery, ask your care team about how robotic-assisted options might benefit your treatment.
