Elbow pain
At Adapt Sports Therapy, we provide a targeted, long-term solution to elbow pain that not only eliminates discomfort but helps you regain full function and confidence in your arm, so you can get back to the activities you love without fear of re-injury.
What Is Elbow Pain?
Elbow pain can be a frustrating and limiting condition – the discomfort can affect your ability to perform everyday tasks and enjoy recreational activities. Whether you’ve been dealing with tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or general overuse injuries, the pain can stem from inflammation, muscle imbalances, or tendon strain. For many, elbow pain starts gradually – perhaps from repetitive motions at work or a new sport – and worsens over time, making it difficult to lift, carry, or even perform simple tasks like cooking or typing.
Despite trying the usual solutions like rest, ice, stretching, or painkillers, you may find that these methods only provide temporary relief. While braces and topical treatments can help manage the symptoms, they often don’t address the root cause of the pain. Whether you’re trying to get back to your favorite activities like pickleball or golf, or you’ve been sidelined from a DIY project, elbow pain can interfere with your ability to enjoy the things that matter most.
At Adapt Sports Therapy, we provide a targeted, long-term solution to elbow pain that not only eliminates discomfort but helps you regain full function and confidence in your arm, so you can get back to the activities you love without fear of re-injury.
What Are The Symptoms of Elbow Pain?
Elbow pain can vary widely in both its intensity and presentation. Common symptoms include:
- Pain or tenderness: Often felt on the outer or inner side of the elbow, this pain may increase when lifting or gripping objects, or during activities like throwing or swinging a racket.
- Stiffness: Difficulty fully extending or flexing the elbow, or feeling tightness when trying to straighten the arm.
- Weakness: You may experience a decrease in strength in your arm or hand, especially when trying to carry heavy objects or perform tasks that require grip strength.
- Swelling: This may accompany inflammation or a buildup of fluid around the elbow joint, especially after activity or prolonged use.
- Radiating pain: Sometimes the pain can extend from the elbow down into the forearm or up into the upper arm.
- Numbness or tingling: In some cases, you may feel sensations of tingling or weakness that travel into your hand or fingers, which could indicate nerve involvement.
