Shoulder, Elbow & Hand
Focused diagnosis, minimally invasive surgery, and rehabilitation for shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand conditions affecting movement and daily function.
Understanding Shoulder, Elbow & Hand Care
Conditions affecting the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand can significantly limit daily activities and work. Treatment ranges from targeted physiotherapy and splinting to minimally invasive surgery for tendon, nerve, and joint problems.
Conditions We Treat
Rotator Cuff Tear
A tear in the shoulder tendons causing pain and weakness with overhead movement.
- Pain when lifting the arm overhead
- Weakness carrying or reaching
- Night pain disturbs sleep
Frozen Shoulder
Progressive stiffness and pain that restricts shoulder movement over time.
- Shoulder movement is increasingly restricted
- Pain worsens at night
- Simple tasks like dressing become difficult
Tennis / Golfer's Elbow
Overuse-related inflammation of the tendons around the elbow causing pain with gripping.
- Pain with gripping or twisting motions
- Tenderness on the outer or inner elbow
- Symptoms persist despite rest
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the wrist nerve causing numbness and tingling in the hand.
- Numbness or tingling in the fingers
- Symptoms worsen at night
- Grip strength is decreasing
Trigger Finger
A finger tendon condition causing catching or locking when bending the finger.
- Finger catches or locks when bending
- A tender lump is felt at the base of the finger
- Movement becomes painful
Hand & Wrist Fractures
Fractures of the wrist or hand bones, often from a fall onto an outstretched hand.
- Pain and swelling after a fall
- Visible deformity of the hand or wrist
- Difficulty moving the fingers or wrist
Recovery & Rehabilitation
From diagnosis to restored hand and arm function, care progresses through clear stages.
Assessment
Identify the Cause
Clinical examination and imaging pinpoint whether symptoms stem from a tendon, nerve, or joint problem.
Treatment
Targeted Treatment
Splinting, injections, or minimally invasive surgery are chosen based on the specific condition and severity.
Recovery
Hand Therapy
Specialised physiotherapy and hand therapy restore strength, grip, and fine motor control.
Follow-up
Return to Daily Tasks
Progress is reviewed to confirm safe return to work, sport, and everyday activities.
Shoulder, Elbow & Hand questions
Get answers about upper-limb conditions, treatment, and recovery.
No. Many conditions respond well to physiotherapy, splinting, or injections. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist, function is significantly limited, or imaging shows a structural tear.
You may benefit from an upper-limb review if:
- Pain limits reaching or lifting
- Numbness or tingling affects the hand
- Grip strength has noticeably reduced
- A finger or joint catches or locks
- Symptoms persist despite rest
Conservative care is tried before surgery
Splinting, physiotherapy, and injections are the first step for most upper-limb conditions, with minimally invasive surgery reserved for cases that do not improve.
