The shower arm/pipe that comes out of the wall is usually screwed into the plumbing. You could try unscrewing it and resealing the connection with teflon tape.

When you remove the elbow, check for corrosion.

My water is slightly acidic (pH 6.9) and it slowly eats away at shower elbows. I keep a spare around because they have a limited life span. The real trick is to replace it before it leaks and causes damage.
