Pain Relief For Elbow Injuries
Elbow Pain Relief
Elbow pain can be an annoyance to say the least. Constant pain when moving the joint can affect your daily activities and keep you from not only doing what you love but may also keep you from accomplishing needed work and tasks.
Many times elbow pain is not a sign of a serious condition, but if the elbow pain is consistent it can begin to affect your life in a negative fashion. Many clinics will want to use highly invasive procedures that can be expensive and unnecessary. If you have elbow or joint pain we offer therapeutic treatments to help reduce pain, increase mobility and strengthen muscles around your joint.

Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is a common name for lateral epicondylitis and is a type of elbow tendonitis. It is caused by the overuse of muscles and tendons in your forearm muscles. The term tennis elbow is used because it is a common injury due to the repetitive motions of playing tennis. The pain starts out minimal and increases to the point that shaking hands or squeezing an object is extremely painful. Therapeutic reconditioning treatments include resting and icing your arm, massages, manipulations of your elbow joint and exercises to help heal your elbow pain.
Golfer’s Elbow
Similar to tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow is caused by repetitive motions. However, golfing moves your arms differently, so the injury is on the inside of your elbow. There are several other professions that are also at risk for this injury, including carpenters. Our therapeutic treatments for golfer’s elbow are similar to treating tennis elbow pain.

Elbow Bursitis
Bursitis is an inflammation of your bursa sac, which is the shock absorber for your joint. The bursa for your elbow is located at the end tip of your elbow, between your skin and bones. Unlike golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow, bursitis is caused by trauma, extended pressure, and arthritis. If you leave bursitis untreated, you will develop the inability to move it completely. Our Therapists will use ice, ultrasounds, therapeutic and functional exercises to help treat your elbow bursitis.
