Your shoulder hurts when you reach overhead. Your elbow aches after typing all day. Your wrist and hand pain is killing you and you don’t even know why.
Maybe it’s from work, sports, an old injury, or just started out of nowhere. Whatever it is, you need it fixed.
We provide shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain relief in Denver through comprehensive care and therapy. Using sports medicine techniques and nonsurgical treatments – actually figuring out what’s causing your pain and fixing it.
Shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain are connected. A problem in your neck can cause shoulder pain. Shoulder issues can lead to elbow problems. Wrist and hand pain might actually be coming from your elbow or shoulder. Joint pain in one area often stems from dysfunction elsewhere.
That’s why orthopedic treatment of these areas requires looking at the whole upper extremity, not just where it hurts. We examine your neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand to find the real source of pain.
Most doctors just prescribe anti-inflammatories and tell you to rest. That might help short-term, but if you don’t fix the underlying problem, it comes back. Some cases get referred to an orthopedic surgeon, but many conditions respond well to conservative medicine first.
Rotator Cuff Injuries Tears, strains, tendinitis. Whether from lifting, sports, or just reaching overhead repeatedly. Rotator cuff problems cause pain, weakness, limited range of motion. Severe cases might need surgical repair or even replacement, but most respond to conservative care. We treat the injury and address the biomechanics that caused it.
Shoulder Impingement Pinching of tendons and bursa when you lift your arm. Hurts to reach overhead, behind your back, or across your body. Usually from poor shoulder mechanics or postural issues we can fix.
Frozen Shoulder Stiffness and pain that makes it hard to move your shoulder at all. Can happen after injury or surgery, or for no clear reason. Takes specific treatment to restore mobility.
Shoulder Arthritis Degenerative changes that cause grinding, stiffness, pain. While we can’t reverse arthritis, we can reduce pain and improve function significantly.
Labral Tears Damage to the cartilage rim of the shoulder socket. From trauma, repetitive overhead motion, or wear and tear. Causes deep aching pain and sometimes clicking or catching.
AC Joint Problems Pain at the top of your shoulder where collarbone meets shoulder blade. From separation, arthritis, or overuse. Common in weightlifters and people who do overhead work.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Pain on outside of elbow from overuse of forearm muscles. Despite the name, most people who get it don’t play tennis. Typing, using tools, gripping activities all cause it. Sports medicine approaches provide effective relief for elbow pain without injections.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Pain on inside of elbow. From repetitive wrist and finger flexion. Affects golfers, rock climbers, people who work with their hands.
Elbow Tendinitis Inflammation and degeneration of tendons around the elbow. From overuse, poor mechanics, compensation for shoulder or wrist problems.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Compression of ulnar nerve at elbow. Causes numbness and tingling in ring and pinky fingers. Can feel like funny bone pain all the time.
Elbow Arthritis Joint degeneration causing pain, stiffness, limited motion. We help manage symptoms and maintain function.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Compression of median nerve in wrist causing hand pain. Numbness, tingling, pain in thumb, index, middle fingers. Worse at night. Often related to neck or shoulder problems. Our clinic treats this without surgical intervention in many cases.
Wrist Tendinitis Inflammation of tendons from repetitive motion. Typing, texting, using mouse, gripping activities. Causes pain with movement and sometimes swelling. Hand and wrist therapy helps restore function.
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis Inflammation of tendons on thumb side of wrist. Pain when gripping, twisting, making fist. Common in new moms from lifting babies. Hand and wrist specialists can help resolve this.
Wrist Sprains Ligament damage from fall, impact, or twisting injury. Causes pain, swelling, instability in hand and wrist. Needs proper treatment to heal correctly.
Ganglion Cysts Fluid-filled lumps on wrist. Usually painless but can cause discomfort and limit motion. We can address the underlying joint dysfunction.
TFCC Tears Cartilage tear on pinky side of wrist. From fall, impact, or repetitive rotation. Causes pain with gripping and rotating movements.
We examine your neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand – the whole chain. Check alignment, range of motion, strength, nerve function. Find the actual source of pain, not just treat symptoms. Similar to what a physical therapist would do, but with added focus on alignment.
Restoring proper alignment in your spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand joints improves function and reduces pain. When joints move right, pain decreases.
Active Release Technique, Graston, manual therapy. Breaking up scar tissue, releasing tight muscles, improving tissue quality. Essential for healing chronic conditions. Advanced soft tissue techniques used by therapists worldwide.
Strengthening weak areas, stretching tight spots, retraining movement patterns. You can’t adjust your way out of weakness. Exercise therapy is part of the solution.
A lot of shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain comes from desk setup, sleeping position, daily habits. We help you identify and fix these contributing factors.
Sometimes you need to change how you’re doing things while you heal. We give practical advice on modifications that let you keep working and living while recovering.
Tools that help break up adhesions and scar tissue more effectively than hands alone. Speeds healing, reduces pain without needing cortisone injection.
For conditions involving nerve compression or irritation. Helps nerves move freely through surrounding tissues. Physical therapy technique we incorporate into treatment.
We’re located in Glendale, easy to reach from anywhere in Denver metro – Cherry Creek, Capitol Hill, downtown, Highlands, Park Hill, Lakewood, Aurora.
Most doctors prescribe pills and rest. Some refer to orthopedic specialists immediately. Physical therapy helps but sometimes misses the alignment and biomechanical issues. Working with a physical therapist is valuable, but we combine the best of multiple approaches – chiropractic, sports medicine, manual therapy.
You’ll see results. Not instantly – healing takes time – but you’ll notice improvement. Less pain, better range of motion, ability to do things you couldn’t before.
A lot of people come to us after trying everything else. Cortisone injection that wore off. Months of PT that plateaued. Braces and splints that didn’t help. Some were told they need surgical intervention but want to try conservative care first. We get it, and we can help.
Neck Problems Herniated discs, arthritis, pinched nerves in your neck can cause shoulder, elbow, wrist pain. We address cervical spine issues that radiate down your arm.
Poor Posture Slouching at desk, looking down at phone, sleeping wrong. Postural issues affect how your shoulder, elbow, wrist function and can cause chronic pain.
Overuse and Repetitive Strain Typing, using mouse, assembly line work, sports training. Repetitive motions without proper recovery cause cumulative trauma.
Previous Injuries Old shoulder separation, broken wrist, elbow sprain that never healed right. Previous injuries change how you move and can cause ongoing problems.
