Arm/Elbow Care

Arm/Elbow

Orthopedic care for arm and elbow injuries and conditions

Arm and elbow injuries can cause pain and limit your ability to complete daily tasks. Left untreated, an arm or elbow injury can have long-term effects, possibly leading to surgery or loss of use. That’s why it’s important to get a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment from an orthopedic doctor for injuries. Treatments range from medication, physical therapy, icing, and immobilization to surgical options.

Arm and elbow injury symptoms

Symptoms of an arm or elbow injury usually begin with pain but can include swelling, joint stiffness, and inability to fully straighten or bend the arm. An arm or elbow injury that severely limits our motion or causes excruciating pain can put a stop to almost any activity. If you experience any of these symptoms, we hope you will seek care for it soon from an arm and elbow doctor (an orthopedic specialist).
