Upper Extremities Treatments

Treatments for upper-extremity pain.

Select a treatment to learn more, or request an appointment and we'll recommend the right option for you.

Upper Extremity Injections

Targeted joint and tendon injections to reduce inflammation and pain.

Shoulder and elbow pain often traces back to an inflamed joint or tendon, and an injection puts anti- inflammatory medication exactly there. Relief can make the difference between guarding the arm and actually using it again - which matters, because the strengthening work that protects the joint long term only happens once movement stops hurting. Injections are guided by imaging for accuracy and done in the office.

Treatments we may use
  • Intra-Articular Shoulder Joint Injections
  • Lateral & Medial Epicondyle Tendon Injection

Upper Extremity Nerve Blocks

Nerve blocks and ablation to calm overactive pain signals in the arm and shoulder.

When the pain is coming from a nerve rather than the joint itself, a block quiets that specific pathway with local anesthetic. The result also answers a question: if blocking one nerve takes the pain away, we have confirmed the source and can treat it directly. Where relief is real but short- lived, ablation can extend it by interrupting the same nerve for a longer stretch.

Treatments we may use
  • Brachial Plexus Nerve Block/Ablation
  • Suprascapular Nerve Block/Ablation

Other Upper Extremity Treatment Options

Advanced neurostimulation for persistent upper-body pain.

For shoulder pain that has not responded to injections, blocks, or therapy, peripheral nerve stimulation places a small device near the nerve to interrupt its pain signals. It begins with a temporary trial so you can judge the relief in ordinary daily activity, and only becomes permanent if that trial clearly helps.

Treatments we may use
  • Suprascapular Peripheral Nerve Stimulator Trial/Implantation

I just love Lara Turk and her assistants. Ms. Turk is very informative and explains things to where I can understand. She seems to genuinely care about her patients. She takes the time to really listen to me. I would refer her to everyone I know. Keep up the excellent work Ms.Turk. I would also like to acknowledge one of the front desk receptionist. I'll remember her name in a few. She is always so nice when scheduling my appointments and even remembers my birthday. Her name is Kalin. She's wonderful

Great service...I have recommend IPA to several veterans and friends. I miss my previous doctor but my current doctor (Puri) is excellent. He treat my 91 yr old dad too. Melanie (NP) treat my wife and me she is awesome.. MS Karisha is the best receptionist they had in awhile. She has trained the other young ladies and they provide great customer service. The surgery center is also great especially Serina. I have given several names you should try to see. I have been coming here since 2015. I stand by my recommendation. Hardy

Everyone here has always been thoughtful of my pain, listened carefully on what hurts, where and how. Even when very rarely a procedure has gone wrong made things right and kept me in the loop on the decision process. I've been cooking here for 8 years and will continue for the foreseeable future. I've two spinal cord stimulator implants and two peripheral implants helping keep the excruciating pain as best as possible to tolerable levels. I've considerable damage due to two major accidents, a dozen collapsed disc, fusions and nerve damage and they've kept this train wreck rolling lol.
