Orthopedic Elbow Specialists in Atlanta

Are you suffering from elbow pain? We have some of Atlanta's best elbow doctors who offer effective treatments to help you find relief.

At Resurgens Orthopaedics, our orthopedic elbow specialists are highly trained. They focus on early diagnosis of elbow pain, which can help manage conditions before they become chronic or severe.

What Causes Elbow Pain?

Our elbows endure a lot of wear and tear from various daily activities, sports, and occupations. Repetitive motions can lead to overuse injuries like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow (you don't have to be a tennis player or golfer to be afflicted by either). There are also common trauma-related injuries like bursitis or hyperextension and chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or cubital tunnel syndrome that can cause pain and limit movement over time.

When Should You See a Doctor For Elbow Pain?

Elbow pain can be a cause for concern due to the elbow's role in many activities. Pain severity can vary greatly depending on the patient, but any persistent discomfort deserves medical attention.

Common signs to seek professional help include:

  • Constant pain: Pain that lasts weeks despite rest and over-the-counter pain medication.

  • Swelling: Noticeable swelling around the elbow joint.

  • Reduced mobility: Difficulty bending or straightening your arm.

  • Numbness or tingling: Numbness or tingling sensations in your arm or hand.

If you experience these symptoms, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with our elbow specialists in Atlanta.

How We Diagnose Your Elbow Pain

The elbow is a complex mechanism that's at risk of developing a wide variety of conditions. For that reason, we place a high priority on properly diagnosing your specific condition before starting treatment.

Correctly diagnosing the cause of your elbow condition is vital for proper treatment. Our physicians and doctors use top-of-the-line radiography equipment to provide diagnostics and imaging. These include CT scans, EMG, MRI scans, and nerve conduction studies.

Certified technologists operate our equipment. These professionals receive extensive vetting - and recurring training - on the latest imaging techniques and procedures. You may also need to receive electrodiagnostic screening to determine your condition.

Surgical Treatment for Elbow Pain

More critical elbow conditions or injuries may require a surgical solution. At Resurgens, our elbows doctors will not recommend surgery unless all conservative methods have been exhausted.

We miss you Dr. C.

This orthopedic doctor (and staff) actually care, which is a blessing in this day and time when one is in pain!!! I'm very fortunate to have found him! Dr Finklestein is associated with Resurgens Ortho Group in Cumming, Ga.

With two boys in sports, we spend a lot of time here. We all see Dr Makhuli and he and his staff are amazing! Two surgeries, lots of broken bones, and mom with a bad knee - he handles us all with flexibility in his schedule and fantastic attitude.

Very knowledgeable and gifted in what he does.Treats patients like a human being not a number (excellence bedside manner.) He listed to what you are saying and orders the necessary tests and records and sits down with you.

Dr. Velez is a pro's pro. He keeps his patients informed throughout the entire process. I had 3 discs replaced and it couldn't have gone any better. It was supposed to be a fairly routine surgery, but once he saw my condition is was far worse than he thought. He made me feel like I was the only patient he had. That is a rarity in my experiences. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I fractured my foot and was terrified of what would come next. This place is big, clean and you can feel the overall positive vibes from the entire staff. The x-ray techs took great care in the x-rays to make sure not to hurt me. The assistant Regina had me laughing while being careful and thorough with my cast. Dr. Raj Bohle was kind, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Specifically asked me what I needed, and reassured me that I would heal fine. The other two assistants were positive and kind and everyone put me at ease. Everything ran like clockwork here and I'm so thankful, since broken bones are scary.

Great experience. Everyone was awesome from start to finish. Dr. Brustein is incredible. The service I received was excellent! 😊

THE ULTIMATE PEACE OF MIND! After becoming concerned about swelling in my injured hand, I decided to follow up with Dr. Mowbray (hand specialist), at Resurgens. I was able to get an immediate "same day" appointment. When I arrived, I had already downloaded and completed the necessary paperwork so I had a very short wait. Dr. Mowbray has a very easy manner about him, does a great job of educating about wound care and is very thorough. X-rays were taken to determine the full extent of the injury, an additional stitch was removed to relieve pressure, my meds were adjusted, I received specific instruction on hand exercises and I was given a splint to provide additional support. Later that night, I noticed a significant decrease in the swelling while the mobility in my fingers had significantly increased. YES! I was elated because this means that the healing process is on target and I will likely avoid further intervention. The best decision I could have made was to follow up as soon as possible. During my entire visit, the staff in this office was very professional, pleasant and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Mowbray and his staff if you are ever in need of a hand and arm specialist.

Dr. Womack has been treating me for 20 years. His knowledge is absolutely second to none. He is a kind and caring man and I am incredibly lucky to be able to have a resource such as him available for the treatment of my severely damaged left ankle. He is an excellent physician and you can ask for no one better to advise you on an injury.

I had a cervical issue for a number of years and it was seriously affecting my life- as a guitarist-musician, the pain and numbness was so bad in my left arm / hand, I was virtually unable to play... after Dr. Grimm gave me ACDF surgery, I'm completely back to normal. I couldn't ask for better care and expertise than Bennett Grimm. Shout out also to Emily and Chelsey too! amazing work from Resurgens Orthopaedics... you guys totally ROCK!
