ABOUT elbow pain
Elbow pain can significantly disrupt daily activities and diminish overall quality of life. Whether stemming from overuse injuries, traumatic incidents, or underlying conditions, elbow discomfort requires comprehensive understanding and effective management. In this section, we delve into the multifaceted aspects of elbow pain, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, to equip you with the knowledge needed to address your discomfort effectively.
Explore the common origins of elbow pain, spanning overuse injuries such as tennis elbow and golfer's elbow, traumatic incidents like fractures or dislocations, arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, nerve compression syndromes like cubital tunnel syndrome, and other conditions like bursitis or tendonitis. Understanding the root cause of your elbow pain is pivotal for formulating an appropriate treatment plan.
Symptoms
Elbow pain can arise from various factors, including injuries, overuse, and underlying medical conditions. Here, we delve into the common causes of elbow pain and discuss how chiropractic care can provide effective solutions:
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Tennis elbow is a common cause of elbow pain, characterized by inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow.
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Golfer's elbow is another form of tendinitis that affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow.
Overuse Injuries: Overuse injuries, such as tendinitis or bursitis, can occur when the tendons or bursae in the elbow joint become inflamed or irritated due to repetitive stress or strain.
Joint Dysfunction: Dysfunction in the elbow joint, such as joint misalignments or restrictions, can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Nerve Compression: Nerve compression, such as ulnar nerve entrapment or radial nerve compression, can cause symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the elbow and surrounding areas.
