Our Hand Specialists Offer Various Treatments

We use our hands every day for simple tasks that we take for granted, so when our hands become challenging to use due to pain, it can become highly frustrating. Schedule today to get a treatment plan that's right for you.

Wrist and Forearm Pain Treatment

Wrist or forearm pain can make it difficult to do everyday tasks like typing, lifting things, doing housework, or playing with kids. Have you been suffering from pain or a lack of range of motion in the wrist or forearm? Check out our treatment options.

Elbow Pain Treatment

Have you been missing out because of pain from something like a sports injury? Did you love playing sports, exercising, or doing hobbies that you can't do anymore because of elbow pain? Elbow pain can impact the entire arm and keep us from doing those things we used to love. Stop putting off getting your elbow pain treated.

Shoulder Pain Treatment

Chronic shoulder pain can make it difficult to do the things you used to love doing. Shoulder pain can come from many sources such as a lingering injury from the past or a new onset disease. Are you ready to get rid of your shoulder pain?

We offer same-day and next-day appointments

When our patients are in pain, we want to get them back to feeling better as soon as possible.
That's why we offer same-day and next-day appointments.

Louisiana Hand to Shoulder provides upper extremity care that you can trust.

Even better, our expert hand surgeons will develop a custom treatment plan for you.

We also save you time and money with our in-office procedures.

Why should you have to pay hospital fees if you're having a procedure that doesn't require you to be in a hospital? Should you have to wear a hospital gown for simple hand surgery? The benefits of our in-office procedures include:

No hospital fees
No fasting
No pre-op testing
And more

We are the only practice on the Northshore that provides this convenient service.

What Our Patients Say...
"Dr. Sessions is an excellent communicator and kept me informed before every step. It was one of the least painful injection experiences I've had. His staff are all very kind as well. Highly recommended!"

S.C.
"My first visit was a great experience. Everyone is so nice and very helpful. Dr. Sessions was very thorough and diagnosed several problems I have with my hands, prioritizing each based on the need for further medical attention. I feel very confident in his diagnosis and the need for surgery to correct my carpal tunnel."
K.B.
"Dr. Sessions is amazing! He knows his stuff. He is very thorough, explains things so you can understand easily, and gives you all your options—all in a professional yet very personal (friendly) way. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent orthopedic surgeon. His incredible staff got me an appointment within a day or so, and while I was there during my appointment, the receptionist, nurse, and X-ray tech were all super nice and efficient in their duties. If I ever have hand, wrist, arm, or shoulder needs, this is the place I want to be."
