San Antonio Orthopedic Care
At Jackson Orthopaedics, we understand that finding an orthopedic specialist in San Antonio who understands your needs and goals can be challenging. We strive to deliver unparalleled care and treatment solutions to our patients.
Our office specializes in the hand and upper extremities. We work with our patients to isolate their pain sources and accurately diagnose and treat hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder injuries. We’re proud to be able to treat many conditions that affect the arm and hand offering surgical and non-surgical options.
Hand and Wrist Conditions
Our hands and wrist do a lot for us throughout the day. It can be debilitating if you’re suffering from hand and wrist pain. The pain can make it challenging for you to complete the tasks you need to do throughout the day.
Some of the wrist and hand health conditions we can address include:
Through a thorough review of your medical history, diagnostic imaging, and examination of the affected area, we can diagnose what’ going on with your hand or wrist. We’ll recommend a course of treatment that’s designed to get rid of your pain.
Elbow Conditions
Many nerves and muscle tendons in our elbows can cause a lot of pain when they’re overextended, overworked, or injured. A few of the conditions we can treat in the elbow region include:
Cubital tunnel syndrome
Golfer’s elbow
Tennis elbow
Elbow arthritis
Elbow joint replacement
Distal Biceps Tendon Tear
We will evaluate your elbow, identifying the cause of your discomfort. We’ll create a tailored treatment plan that gets you on the road to recovery.
Shoulder Conditions
Our shoulders are comprised of a complicated ball-and-socket joint. As a result, shoulder pain can be caused by various factors.
Our office is equipped to treat various shoulder conditions to help you avoid shoulder surgery if possible, such as shoulder pain and arthritis. This includes:
We may order X-rays, MRI, and other diagnostic studies to further evaluate your shoulder’s condition. Our office uses that information to help determine the cause of your discomfort and the best path forward.
Rotator Cuff Tear

The rotator cuff is essential for shoulder stability and movement, and a tear in this area can be quite debilitating. When the tendons of the rotator cuff are damaged, it can lead to significant pain and limit your range of motion. We address various conditions related to rotator cuff injuries, including:
Rotator cuff tears (partial or full-thickness)
Rotator cuff tendonitis
Rotator cuff impingement
Bursitis associated with rotator cuff issues
We will thoroughly assess your shoulder, identify the source of your pain, and develop a customized treatment plan to facilitate your recovery and restore optimal function.
Wide-Awake Hand Surgery
Wide-awake hand surgery may be the best option to treat your condition. What’s great about this solution is that it is performed under local anesthesia. Some of the benefits of having this procedure performed by a hand surgeon include:
- Alleviates the need and cost for additional pre-op tests
- Utilizes evidence-based technical advancements
- It doesn’t require overnight fasting
- Good option for patients who may have complications from general anesthesia
Many hand conditions can be treated with this type of procedure. We will evaluate you to determine if you may benefit from wide-awake hand surgery.
