Upper Extremity Therapy

Pain, dysfunction, or immobility in the shoulder, elbow or wrist can significantly impact your quality of life. At Elite Occupational and Physical Therapy, our goal is to help you regain mobility and functional use of the upper extremity-pain free. With a decade of experience in treating surgical and non-surgical upper extremity dysfunction, we are confident in helping you achieve your goals. Through a comprehensive and thorough evaluation, I will develop a customized treatment plan that best suits your needs.

• Shoulder pain conditions: Common causes of shoulder pain include rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, muscle tears, inflammation of the bursa (bursitis), frozen shoulder, joint instability, tendonitis, humeral fractures, and arthritis.
• Elbow pain conditions: Common elbow conditions include golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), cubital tunnel syndrome (very similar to carpal tunnel syndrome except that the nerve compressed is at the elbow, causing slightly different symptoms) and also fractures of the elbow.
• Wrist pain conditions: The wrist is a common area for injuries whether it be due to a traumatic injury or an overuse injury. The best known of these is carpal tunnel syndrome, an overuse condition that compresses a nerve in the wrist and causes pain, numbness, tingling, and possible weakness. Other causes of wrist pain include tendonitis, fracture, dislocation, sprain, ganglion cyst, and arthritis.

Because no two patients are the same, the specific wrist, elbow or shoulder treatment program for each patient will be individualized. We are committed to providing unparalleled treatment to help patients successfully transition back to normal daily activities, work, sports and hobbies.
