Common Causes for Elbow Pain
The elbow is one of the more frequently used joints in your body. It’s very common to feel aches and pains in this area, especially if you experience even the slightest injury. Here are some common reasons you might feel pain in your elbow:
This is very common for people who perform repetitive tasks. Tennis players (Tennis Elbow), golfers (Golf Elbow), desk workers, factory workers, etc. that do the same motion over and over with their elbow can experience pain, stiffness, and soreness in their elbow joint.
Any time there is an impact on your elbows, such as a fall, car accident, or contact sport, you can injure the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bones in this area. The pain can be immediate, or it can appear later down the road and linger for long periods of time.
This is a condition that affects the joints, causing them to become inflamed and stiff. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and it can occur in any joint in your body, including your elbow.
How do Chiropractors Treat Elbow Pain?
In most instances, your elbow pain can be treated by using specific adjustment techniques. These adjustments to the elbow joint help ensure there is proper motion occurring in the joint. However, in addition to the elbow joint, we will want to make sure there is not something else occurring in another part of your body (such as the shoulder or wrist) that can be contributing to the elbow pain you are experiencing.
There are also a few other things we might recommend to help with your elbow pain. We might suggest you use ice or heat therapy, depending on the source of your pain. You might also need to start doing some exercises and stretches to help improve the range of motion in your elbow and keep the muscles around it strong and flexible.
The best part is that Chiropractic care is an all-natural way to treat pain and discomfort in your elbow. No invasive surgeries, no addictive medications. We focus on providing you with the best holistic way to resolve the pain in your elbow so you can get back to feeling great again.
