Are you experiencing elbow pain? Does it hurt to lift things or hold the steering wheel? Does it hurt to golf or play tennis? How about mousing on your computer or typing on your phone or keyboard? Elbow pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. It can be caused from a traumatic injury but is most often caused by repetitive overuse of the muscles surrounding the elbow.
At PhysioNow, all of our therapists are trained to fully diagnose your elbow pain and determine the cause of your symptoms. The most common conditions of the elbow are:
1. Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis. This is an overuse injury to the tendons on the outside of the elbow. It is called Tennis elbow because it is an injury that happens often to tennis players, however. You don’t have to be a tennis player to get this type of sports injury. We use all of those same muscles during the day when we grip excessively (even a book for long periods of time), repetitive cutting, chopping, hammering, mousing, typing, etc.
2. Golfer’s Elbow or Medial Epicondylitis. This is also typically an overuse injury to the muscles and tendons on the inside of the elbow. Although it is a common sports injury of golfer’s, others can also develop this painful condition.
3. Nerve Compression of the Ulnar nerve on the inside of the elbow can also cause elbow pain. This can happen if someone bangs their elbow sharply or rests the elbow in an awkward position that presses on the ulnar nerve, ( such as on the edge of a car window).
4. Elbow joint fractures.
5. Arthritis of the elbow joint. This may be accompanied by swelling and heat around the elbow joint.
6. Other miscellaneous causes that are rarer may also be responsible for elbow pain.
Whether your pain is caused by a sports injury or simply overuse, the experts physiotherapists at PhysioNow can develop a customized rehabilitation program to help you get your swing back.
Most cases of elbow pain are due to injury and overuse of the joint or soft tissue like muscle, tendons, and ligaments. Physiotherapy is recommended for various elbow conditions, including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and fractures. If you experience pain, limited movement, or difficulty performing daily activities, physiotherapy may be beneficial.
Yes, definitely! Physiotherapy will help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and enhance strength. It involves the use of exercises, stretches, manual therapy, and more to rehabilitate the elbow joint.
Physiotherapists often recommend specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around the elbow, improve flexibility, and promote healing. They may also recommend a brace and advise you on activity modifications to alleviate pain and encourage rest.
Yes, physiotherapists often prescribe home exercises to complement in-clinic sessions. These exercises are designed to be safe and effective for self-management. Your exercises will be tailored to your unique needs.
It depends on the severity of your issue and how it developed in the first place. For example, if your elbow pain developed as a result of overuse and excessive lifting, it may be necessary to take a break. Your physiotherapist will assess you and give you advice on whether it is safe to proceed, or whether any modifications need to be made.
