Elbow Pain

What we treat

Here are some of the most common conditions that we treat:

Tendonitis

This refers to inflammation of a tendon, the tissue that connects muscle to bone. Common types in the elbow include:

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow from overuse of the muscles that extend the wrist and fingers.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow from overuse of the muscles that flex the wrist and fingers.

Bursitis

Inflammation of bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the elbow joint. This can cause localised pain and tenderness.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow can lead to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the pinky and ring fingers.

Osteoarthritis

Arthritis can affect the elbow joint, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility.

Strains and Sprains

Overuse or sudden movements can strain or sprain ligaments and muscles around the elbow,leading to pain and limited movement.

Dislocations

The bones of the elbow joint can dislocate, causing severe pain, deformity, and needing immediate medical attention.
