Find Relief from Elbow Pain with Expert Physical Therapy

Common Causes of Elbow Pain

​​

• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): This condition involves inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, typically from repetitive motions or overuse. It causes pain and tenderness that worsens with gripping or lifting.

​

• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow but affecting the inner elbow, golfer’s elbow is caused by overuse or strain. It results in pain, stiffness, and weakness in the elbow and forearm.

​

• Elbow Bursitis (Olecranon Bursitis): Inflammation of the bursa—a fluid-filled sac near the tip of the elbow—can cause swelling, tenderness, and discomfort, often due to repetitive pressure, trauma, or infection.

​

• Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: This condition occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes compressed or irritated in the cubital tunnel on the inner side of the elbow, causing numbness, tingling, or weakness in the forearm and hand.

How Our Physical Therapy Clinic Treats Elbow Pain

​

At our clinic, our physical therapists develop individualized treatment plans based on the underlying cause of your elbow pain. Our approach includes:

​

• Strengthening and Flexibility Exercises: Targeted exercises help build strength in the forearm, wrist, and elbow muscles, reducing strain on the tendons and supporting healthy movement.

​

• Manual Therapy: Techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilizations, and myofascial release improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve tension in the affected area.

​

• Stretching and Range of Motion Exercises: Gentle stretching helps alleviate stiffness, improve flexibility, and restore natural movement in the elbow.

​

• Nerve Gliding Exercises: For conditions like cubital tunnel syndrome, we use specific exercises to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve, reducing symptoms like tingling and numbness.

​

• Activity Modification and Ergonomic Training: We educate patients on techniques to avoid repetitive strain, emphasizing proper form and ergonomics to prevent further irritation.

​

By addressing both symptoms and the underlying causes of elbow pain, our therapists help patients restore strength, improve function, and get back to daily activities without discomfort.
