If you have been putting off treatment for a lingering or life-limiting shoulder or elbow injury, the highly-trained physicians at St. Luke's Orthopedic and Total Joint Center in St. Louis can help.

Because the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body and the elbow is crucial to performing everyday activities, they are also some of the most commonly injured parts of the body. Our shoulder and elbow experts are well-versed in all options for a variety of shoulder and elbow conditions and make every effort to utilize non-surgical options before surgery including rest, physical or occupational therapy, medication or other conservative measures.
