Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists Shoulder & Elbow

Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists treat most conditions or traumas that cause dysfunction between the ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, and bones of your shoulders and elbows.

Your shoulder and elbows are necessary tools that enable you to work, play, and perform everyday activities. It is critical to properly diagnose any dysfunction and carefully consider treatment options.

Given the complex nature of the shoulder and elbow, specialized care and expertise are especially important, which is why our shoulder and elbow specialists are board certified. Our providers are dedicated to examining, diagnosing, and developing customized treatment plans to meet the individual needs of our patients. Our goal is to alleviate discomfort and restore function and mobility.

We offer a wide range of treatment options, compassionate care, and the technical expertise necessary to custom tailor a treatment plan to include both non-operative and operative care of the shoulder and elbow. We offer state-of-the-art surgical procedures, which allow us to provide the best outcomes as possible and the quickest recovery times.
