BJC HealthCare works with Washington University physicians, BJC Medical Group, and providers across the region to deliver extraordinary care. We start with listening. Orthopedists pay careful attention to your concerns and treatment goals. This information enables us to tailor therapies that help you achieve the best possible results.  

Highlights of our program include:  

• Expertise: Orthopedists with advanced training and decades of experience guide your care. If surgery is necessary, we often use minimally invasive techniques involving small incisions and less tissue disruption. We use research-based methods that help you regain mobility, reduce pain and return to daily activities faster. 

• Non-surgical options: Many patients get better without surgery, even when other shoulder or elbow pain treatments have failed. Care may include custom braces, physical therapy or cortisone injections. Explore physical medicine and physical therapy.  

• Elite-level sports medicine: You deserve high-quality care even if you’re not a pro hockey player. Our surgeons serve as team doctors for the NHL’s St. Louis Blues and the St. Louis CITY SC. They treat your shoulder and elbow pain with the same attention they give the pros. Learn more about sports medicine. 

• Connected care: You benefit from the recommendations of orthopedists, physiatrists, physical- and occupational therapists and specially trained nurses. We communicate regularly, helping you get the most out of each appointment. We manage all the details, whether it’s surgery, outpatient rehab or diagnostic imaging.
