Shoulder

Because of how often we use our fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders – along with the muscles, ligaments and tendons that support their function – are particularly prone to injury.

Any condition or trauma that affects the hands or upper extremities can significantly impact your daily life. When faced with chronic pain, fractures, complex injuries and more, NYC Orthopedics’ Hand, Wrist, Elbow & Shoulder Center in NYC is here for you. Personalized care and expertise are extremely important with any condition and this is where a team of highly trained professionals come in who dedicate, examine and diagnose as well as formulate and execute a treatment plan to meet the individual needs of every patient. Our goal is to gain proficiency in the diagnosis and provide an appropriate treatment of adult and pediatric patients.

We offer non-surgical treatment options such as physical therapy, and platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy whenever possible, as conservative treatment options can be effective at treating many hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder conditions. In those cases where surgery is necessary, we offer the latest, state-of-the-art procedures including endoscopic carpal tunnel release, ligament reconstruction of the hand and upper extremities as well as minimally invasive microsurgery techniques, which allow us to provide better outcomes and, in some cases, faster recovery times for our patients.
