The most common causes of elbow pain

There are numerous reasons why you may be experiencing elbow pain.

Some of the most common causes of elbow pain are as follows:

Tendinitis

Tendinitis is known as an “overuse injury” because it develops gradually over time. When tendons become inflamed, they cause swelling and pain, particularly when the affected area is moved.

Golfer’s elbow

Medial (inside) epicondylitis, also known as “golfer’s elbow,” is an inflammation of the tendons surrounding the elbow. Overuse of the muscles that flex your wrist and fingers causes this injury.

Nerve damage

If one of the nerves that run through your elbow, forearm, wrist, or hand is injured, you will most likely notice! You may experience numbness, tingling, or a loss of body temperature.

Muscle function is disrupted and paralysis can occur in cases of severe nerve injury. Furthermore, nerve injuries are commonly caused by overuse and are accompanied by edema. By obstructing proper circulation, swelling reduces the nerve’s ability to function properly.

Tennis elbow

Tennis elbow is a lateral (outside) epicondylitis-induced inflammation of the tendons surrounding the elbow. It occurs when you perform repetitive tasks requiring you to grip and extend your wrist. Holding a tennis racket, a paintbrush, or a hammer are a few examples. Tenderness will be severe around the outside of your elbow, causing pain when gripping, lifting, or twisting your forearm.

Elbow fractures

Falls are a common cause of upper extremity fractures, such as elbow fractures (Olecranon). This is because the natural reaction is to try to catch yourself. During the healing process, the fingers, wrist, and elbow may become extremely stiff. This can lead to a loss of strength and range of motion.

Sprain or strain of the elbow

Elbow sprains and strains are common. Sprains and strains can result from an unexpected overstretching of the tissues. Overstretching can result in a tear, which causes swelling, pain, and difficulty moving.

The list above may assist you in determining the source of your discomfort. It is also possible that you will have an entirely different experience!

In any case, schedule a meeting with Rebound Fitness & Rehabilitation. Our physical therapists can determine the source of your pain and make treatment recommendations.

Physical therapy is particularly effective at alleviating elbow pain. Rebound Fitness & Rehabilitation employs hands-on therapy to alleviate pain and improve circulation. This method can also heal nerves, restoring their normal function. Physical therapy can also help to reduce or eliminate the need for costly and invasive surgical procedures, as well as the use of potentially hazardous drugs.

Our Northbrook, IL physical therapists are experts in joint diseases and mobility. They can treat your symptoms as well as figure out what’s causing your pain!

We provide cutting-edge treatment options to help you relieve pain, increase your range of motion, and get back to doing what you love.

Your Rebound Fitness & Rehabilitation physical therapist will assess your condition and ask you about your pain symptoms during your appointments. “Does it hurt when you reach for things?” for example. “Are you able to bend your elbow?” The goal of this is to identify the underlying causes of your pain.

Once that is determined, your therapist will design a treatment plan that includes exercises aimed at relieving your pain or healing the injury that is causing your symptoms. Every treatment is unique because every patient is unique! Your therapist will give you exercises to do at home to manage discomfort while you heal, and these exercises will also allow you to continue making progress outside of the clinic.
