At Baylor Scott & White Health, you’ll find a team of orthopedic surgeons ready to offer treatment for shoulder and elbow injuries that are tailored to your life and goals.
We know shoulder and elbow injuries have many paths to healing. Whether you need nonsurgical care or an advanced, minimally invasive procedure, your orthopedic surgeon will help you find the most effective treatment to reduce or eliminate shoulder pain and elbow pain and restore function to the joint. Don’t let an injury hold you back. With orthopedic centers across North and Central Texas, help for hurting shoulders or elbows is never far away.
Why choose Baylor Scott & White?
No matter what kind of shoulder or elbow injury you have, you’ll have access to a wide range of treatments and the support of a multidisciplinary team of medical providers on your journey to healing.
The first step: obtaining an accurate diagnosis. You’ll have a thorough evaluation using the latest diagnostic techniques so your physician can pinpoint the cause of shoulder or elbow discomfort. Once that’s clear, you’ll try physical therapy or other nonsurgical treatments. If they don’t provide the relief you are looking for, you may be a great candidate for a surgical procedure, many of which take less than an hour.
Robust nonsurgical care
You may not need surgery to achieve the pain relief and quality of life you want. Your orthopedic surgeon will start with the most conservative treatments that make sense for you.
With your physician’s guidance, you may try at-home care, such as applying heat and ice to your shoulder or elbow and taking prescription or over-the-counter medications for pain relief. Corticosteroid injections can also reduce discomfort. Working with our physical therapists can help you strengthen the muscles and enhance your joint’s range of motion.
Advanced procedures
Nonsurgical treatments aren’t right for everyone. If you need shoulder or elbow surgery, our goal is to select the least invasive procedure that will allow you to recover and return to the activities you love—as quickly as possible.
Our orthopedic surgeons perform advanced surgeries, often using minimally invasive techniques that reduce scarring and complications and can help you return to regular activities sooner. We offer innovative procedures, including implant-free, minimally invasive arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, revision shoulder replacement and reverse total shoulder replacement customized to your body’s needs.
Access to emerging treatments
Our team stays on the frontlines of innovation in shoulder and elbow care by participating in clinical trials. As a result, you may have access to the latest treatments.
If you need a shoulder or elbow replacement, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial designed to determine how best to minimize the use of pain medications after surgery while still effectively controlling discomfort and other side effects, such as nausea. Taking part in the study may benefit you and many others in the future.
Care that’s as unique as you
Beginning with your first appointment and continuing throughout your treatment, our team will take the time to do more than just understand the problem affecting your shoulder or elbow. We’ll also discuss how the injury affects your quality of life and what you’d like to get out of treatment. Those are the keys to personalizing care and designing an effective treatment plan.
Whether your goal is to be able to lift your grandchild again or simply to be free of pain in your shoulder or elbow, our team is here to help you achieve it.
