Shoulder and Elbow Care
An important part of maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle is having flexibility and mobility in the shoulder and elbow joints. Nagging symptoms such as chronic pain and arthritis that limit mobility can cause a person to refrain from fully participating in life’s simple pleasures. This can also lead to depression and a whole host of health issues that follow. Dr. Pourtaheri offers a variety of non-surgical and surgical treatment options aimed at helping patients resume the activities that make life meaningful.
The cause of painful shoulder and elbow complaints can be quite varied and include; osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic injury stemming from an accident or fall, and more. While pain sometimes can be treated at home with rest, ice and over-the-counter medication, more severe shoulder injuries and conditions require an orthopedist for diagnosis and treatment. Common conditions can include; arthritis, shoulder bone spurs, torn rotator cuffs, fractures, dislocation, damaged cartilage, throwing injuries, and more.
