WHO NEEDS ELBOW TREATMENT?

An elbow injury can come from repeating the same motion over and over for a long period of time. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a musician, an athlete, or a performing artist. Elbow repetitive strain injury — and the pain that comes with it — prevents you from completing all kinds of daily tasks, from brushing your teeth to eating.

Although your elbow doesn’t offer as large a range of motion as your shoulder, it helps you control your forearm, wrist, and hand. Without full and unfettered use of your arms, you often can’t work or play for any length of time.

ELBOW PAIN SYMPTOMS

You’ll feel the symptoms of an elbow injury pretty quickly — it hurts to do your routine activities, practice your musical instrument or play your chosen sport. Depending on whether it’s a sudden sports injury or an elbow repetitive strain injury, your pain can vary from an occasional twinge to a constant severe ache. Other symptoms you may experience include:

Redness around your elbow
Swelling and tenderness in your elbow
A decreased range of motion
Elbow weakness that wasn’t there before

The sooner you see an elbow injury specialist who can diagnose and provide appropriate care, such as tennis elbow treatment, the sooner you can get back to the things you enjoy. Whether it’s strumming your guitar, tossing a football, or playing a set, don’t let elbow pain stop you.

PAIN FROM WRIST TO ELBOW

Your elbow joint is where your humerus, or upper arm bone, meets your radius and ulna, the forearm bones. Medial epicondylitis or golf elbow affects the inner part of your elbow. Lateral epicondylitis, known as tennis elbow, affects the outer part of your elbow. Both types of elbow repetitive strain injuries occur because of the way you position your arm, along with the impact of hitting the ball.

Although it’s more common among tennis players, golfers and musicians, elbow injuries can happen to anyone who regularly performs tasks like cleaning or sweeping. Some common causes of elbow pain include:

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Golf elbow (medial epicondylitis)
Dislocation
Fracture
Bursitis
Strains and sprains
Osteoarthritis

STEP ONE: ELBOW PAIN DIAGNOSIS

Before tennis elbow treatment, your elbow specialist has to know that you have a tennis elbow. A functional movement screening can reveal your limited range of movement. A total body assessment can determine if your issue is systemic or localized.

At ReBalance, we apply an integrative medicine approach. Many factors influence which treatment is best for you, including the type of strain, injury, or disease you have. Your elbow specialist also needs to know how long it’s been going on and what part of your elbow is affected.

TYPES OF ELBOW PAIN

To identify the precise type and cause of your pain, our elbow specialist will perform a thorough physical evaluation that will involve movement testing, palpation, and general observation. Your pain can be of various types, including:

Medial elbow pain. Medial pain develops when the inside of your arm endures extreme valgus and extension. It typically leads to overuse injuries like a little leaguer’s elbow, ulnar collateral ligament tear, and flexor tendonitis.
Lateral elbow pain. This pain may signal conditions like Osteochondritis dissecans, or Panner’s disease. It can result from overuse of the radiocapitellar line and lack of blood flow in the outer elbow side of your arm bone.
Posterior elbow pain. Common culprits of this pain include olecranon osteochondrosis, damage to the posterior impingement of the elbow, or elbow bursitis. Certain activities that lock the elbow in a repetitive forced or full extension can result in olecranon apophysitis.
