Is Chronic Arm, Wrist, or Elbow Pain Controlling Your Life?

When discomfort in your arm, wrist, or elbow starts interfering with everyday movement, even simple tasks can feel impossible. The ache may travel beyond a single joint — radiating through the arm, reducing strength, and limiting your ability to move freely. If you have tried conservative treatments without lasting relief, specialized surgical care could be the answer.

The Center for Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery offers advanced treatment for complex nerve, joint, and tendon conditions. As a division of The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction, we help patients move beyond chronic pain through targeted surgical solutions for brachial plexus injuries, nerve compression, and other debilitating disorders.

You don’t have to live this way. Here’s who we help:

Individuals with chronic wrist or hand pain after fracture, trauma, or surgery.

Men and women experiencing nerve-related pain or weakness from carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome.

Patients living with stiffness, weakness, or pain following tendon or ligament injury.

Individuals with persistent elbow or shoulder pain from overuse or repetitive motion injuries.

Those who’ve undergone multiple treatments for hand or arm pain without lasting relief.

"Dr Shah is extremely good at explaining the diagnosis in full detail in a language anyone can understand! Dr Ajul Shah -is one of the best hand surgeons and upper extremity peripheral nerve reconstruction surgeon! I was having severe pain in my forearm I tried to let it rest but when i went to see dr shah he was able to pinpoint my pain and advised me i had radial tunnel syndrome, and with a simple nerve decompression surgery i was pain free. My strength is continuing to improve with time. The recovery after surgery was minimal and simple. I highly recommend a consult with Dr Ajul Shah"
