Elbow pain can arise from many causes. When you have elbow pain it can significantly impact your ability to lift, type, write, open doors/jars as well as many other everyday tasks. At Northern Chiropractic and Physiotherapy we take a detailed approach to managing your elbow pain. We examine the elbow to determine if the source of the pain is joint, muscle, nerve or perhaps referred from another area such as the neck.
Some common causes of elbow pain are:
- Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfers Elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Ulnar, radial or median nerve entrapments
- Biceps tendonitis
- Joint arthritis or movement restrictions
Management of your elbow problem is determined by a detailed physical assessment and appropriate diagnosis. After this process common treatment includes:
- Myofascial stretching
- Strengthening
- Active Release
- Acupuncture
- Shockwave therapy
- Manual joint mobilizations
- And many more depending on your specific issue
