A medical support system for medical professionals performing procedures on patients. That medical support system includes adjustable support arms adjacent a patient headrest. The support arms are padded, have concave support surfaces, can freely rotate and pivot, but can also be locked in position via a ball-joint mechanism inside a housing. The ball joint has a compression cap with a conically shaped opening that aligns with a ball that receives a rod that connects to a support arm. Turning the compression cap induces a state of snugness achieved by friction between the ball, the compression cap and the housing. Loosening the compression cap allows rotational and angular positioning of the support arms. The compression cap has a knurled outer surface to assist a medical professional using the medical support system.
