Don't let elbow pain limit your life any longer. Our expert team is ready to help you on your journey to recovery.
Elbow pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific elbow pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your elbow joint consists of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), radius, and ulna (forearm bones). The joint is stabilized by ligaments and moved by tendons that attach muscles to bones. The elbow allows for bending/straightening (flexion/extension) and rotating movements (pronation/supination) of the forearm. Common pain sites include the lateral epicondyle (outer elbow), medial epicondyle (inner elbow), and the joint space itself.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's tendons, ligaments, bursa, nerves, or the joint itself. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Elbow anatomy and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of elbow pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
Pain on the outer side of the elbow, caused by overuse of the forearm extensor muscles. Common in racquet sports, manual work, and desk jobs involving repetitive gripping or typing.
Pain on the inner side of the elbow, affecting the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle. Common in golf, throwing sports, and activities requiring strong gripping or flexing of the wrist.
Compression of the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel on the inner elbow. Causes numbness and tingling in the ring and little fingers, particularly when the elbow is bent.
Inflammation of the bursa at the tip of the elbow, causing swelling and pain. Often results from prolonged pressure on the elbow, direct trauma, or infection. Also known as "student's elbow."
Degeneration of cartilage in the elbow joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Can be osteoarthritis (wear and tear) or inflammatory arthritis. More common in those with previous elbow injuries.
Many elbow pain conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
