Tendinitis Treatment & Surgery
Tendinitis occurs when a tendon becomes inflamed due to repetitive movement, overuse, or sudden strain. This condition is common in the wrist, elbow, and shoulder and often leads to pain, swelling, and reduced grip strength. Treatment includes activity modification, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications. In cases where symptoms persist, minimally invasive procedures can remove damaged tissue and promote tendon healing.
Sports Injuries Rehabilitation, Treatment, & Surgery
Athletes and active individuals are prone to injuries that affect the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder due to repetitive stress, impact, or improper mechanics. Torn or damaged ligaments and torn or damaged tendons are common in sports-related trauma, often requiring expert care. Dr. David R. Sollaccio provides comprehensive treatment, from rehabilitation programs and therapy to advanced surgical techniques that repair injuries and restore long-term strength and mobility.
Bursitis Treatment & Surgery
Bursitis occurs when the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints, become inflamed due to repetitive movement or prolonged pressure. This often leads to swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in the elbow or shoulder. Treatment includes rest, therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, minimally invasive procedures may be needed to drain excess fluid and relieve pressure.
Elbow Pain Treatment & Surgery
The elbow is a complex joint that relies on tendons, ligaments, and muscles to perform a full range of motion. Pain in this area can stem from overuse, injuries, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. Conservative methods such as physical therapy, bracing, and guided injections help many patients recover, while advanced surgical techniques are available for those requiring ligament repair or joint stabilization.
Hand & Wrist Pain Treatment & Surgery
From texting and typing to gripping and lifting, the hands and wrists are constantly in motion, making them prone to strain, nerve compression, and joint wear. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and tendon inflammation can cause pain and weakness, limiting movement. Our orthopaedic practice offers targeted treatments, including splinting, therapy, and minimally invasive procedures to restore comfort and dexterity.
Elbow Sprain Treatment & Surgery
A sudden fall, awkward movement, or sports injury can overstretch or tear the ligaments in the elbow, leading to pain and instability. Athletes and active individuals are especially prone to elbow sprains, which can worsen without proper care. Treatment focuses on rest, bracing, and rehabilitation, while severe ligament damage may require surgical intervention to restore elbow strength and prevent long-term issues.
Tennis Elbow Treatment & Surgery
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is not just for athletes; it affects anyone who performs repetitive arm motions, from construction workers to office employees. The condition causes pain and weakness in the outer elbow due to tendon strain. Treatment often includes therapy, bracing, and inflammation management, while stubborn cases may benefit from minimally invasive tendon repair to restore strength.
Golfer’s Elbow Treatment & Surgery
Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, occurs when the tendons on the inner elbow become irritated from repetitive wrist flexion. Lifting, gripping, and swinging motions commonly trigger pain, making everyday tasks difficult. Conservative treatments like therapy, stretching, and bracing can relieve symptoms. When chronic pain persists, surgical techniques help repair damaged tendons and restore elbow function.
Arthritis Treatment & Surgery
Arthritis in the hand, wrist, or elbow can make once-simple movements painful and difficult. Over time, joint cartilage deteriorates, leading to stiffness and inflammation. While early treatments include medications, therapy, and joint injections, advanced arthritis may require joint fusion or replacement surgery for long-term pain relief and improved movement.
Shoulder Pain Treatment & Surgery
The shoulder is one of the most versatile yet injury-prone joints in the body. Rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, and arthritis can lead to pain, weakness, and restricted movement. The right treatment depends on the extent of the injury. Many patients find relief with rehabilitation, injections, and mobility exercises, while more severe cases may require arthroscopic surgery to repair torn tendons or improve joint stability.
