Common Causes of Elbow Pain
There are many reasons you may be experiencing elbow pain. Regardless of how an injury occurred, an evaluation by a physical therapist can help support a timely recovery and reduce the risk of long-term problems.
Elbow Sprain or Strain
A sprain occurs when a ligament is overstretched or torn; a strain involves an overstretched or torn muscle or tendon. Unexpected overstretching can cause swelling, pain, and difficulty moving the elbow.
UCL Sprain
The ligaments on the inner side of the elbow may be stretched or torn with throwing. These injuries can be especially significant for athletes who repeatedly place force across the elbow joint.
Little Leaguer’s Elbow
Also called medial apophysitis, this common adolescent baseball and softball overuse injury occurs when repetitive overhand throwing inflames the inner elbow growth plate. Pain may increase with innings pitched or games played.
Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy describes a tendon problem, including injury or disorder. Tendinitis involves inflammation and may follow an acute injury; tendinosis is often associated with overuse and can be slower to heal.
Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis elbow affects the outer elbow and can make gripping, lifting, or twisting the forearm painful. Golfer’s elbow affects the inner elbow and is commonly related to overuse of muscles that flex the wrist and fingers.
Nerve Injuries and Fractures
Nerve injuries can cause numbness, tingling, or temperature loss. Falls are a common cause of elbow fractures. After immobilization, stiffness, weakness, and persistent pain may remain without appropriate rehabilitation.
Physical Therapy For Elbow Pain Relief
Physical therapy is especially effective at relieving elbow pain. Cutting Edge Physical Therapy uses hands-on treatment to reduce pain, increase circulation, and restore range of motion. Your program can also improve strength, nerve function, and your ability to use the elbow to its maximum potential.
During your appointments, your therapist will take a thorough history and assess your condition to determine the underlying causes of your symptoms and factors that may affect your rehabilitation goals. Then, they will create a customized treatment plan with exercises to relieve pain, improve motion and strength, and restore normal function.
Every treatment is different because every patient is different. Your therapist will also provide exercises to continue at home, helping you manage discomfort and keep progressing outside the clinic.
