Elbow Pain

Elbow Pain

Sprains from strain on the hand and elbow are the most common cause of elbow pain. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow follow (medial epicondylitis). In both cases, repetitive and strong hand movements cause irritation and chronic inflammation of the attachment sites of the hand and wrist muscles' ends (tendons) at the elbow.

A thorough and comprehensive examination is critical for diagnosis. Because elbow illnesses are frequently mistaken with one another, therapy is often delayed and chronicity rises.

Physical therapy, medication injection, dry needle treatment, specific bandages, and orthoses are utilized singly or in combination depending on the cause. It is critical not to put off treatment because they tend to become chronic.

Dry needle treatments, in particular, have a very high success rate.
