Our Services

The Raleigh Hand to Shoulder Center doctors and therapists have specialized training in treating patients with hand and upper extremity conditions. Patients with pain, trauma, sports injuries, arthritis, tumors, or chronic problems of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder can be evaluated and treated by our staff. A variety of advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments are available, and surgery is only recommended after careful patient evaluation and consideration of multiple treatment options. The goals are to reduce pain, restore function, and improve quality of life with the most effective and least invasive treatment methods.
