Shoulder and Elbow Treatment in New Jersey | Hackensack Meridian Health   

Shoulder and Elbow Orthopedic Treatment

A Personalized Approach

Our board-certified specialists are nationally and internationally known clinical and research leaders in orthopedics. Our specialists perform more than 300 surgeries per year with a low rate of complications or infections after surgery. That indicates high-quality shoulder and elbow care from some of the most experienced surgeons in New Jersey. We also offer a comprehensive rehabilitation program that includes acute rehab; sub-acute rehab; home care or outpatient therapy.

Treatment Options

We regularly treat problems such as shoulder fractures, shoulder instability, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, SLAP lesions and tennis elbow. We use minimally-invasive procedures whenever possible to reduce shoulder or elbow pain and increase the speed of recovery.

Since many orthopedic problems have more than one treatment option, our surgeons work closely with specialists in other fields to ensure that every patient receives exactly the right kind of treatment for their condition. Our goal is the same as yours — to restore your function and range of motion so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.
