  • Elbow

    The elbow is referred to as a synovial hinge joint, or the location where the humerus in the upper arm meets the radius and ulna in the forearm. An injury or disease can harm the joint and make it painful to move. Although elbow pain is not typically life-threatening or serious, it can hinder an individual’s quality of life since the elbow is necessary to perform certain arm and hand movements.

  • Shoulder

    One of the most common complaints we hear at South Shore Orthopedics is that of shoulder pain. Pain in the shoulder may stem from the neck, shoulder joint, or any of the surrounding ligaments and tendons. When shoulder pain derives from the joint, it usually becomes worse when the arm or shoulder is moved, such as when everyday activities are performed.
