The elbow is a complex joint that facilitates a wide range of motion in the forearm and hand. While elbow pain usually isn’t serious, it can inhibit many daily activities due to the important function of the elbow. Pain and other symptoms like weakness and stiffness often arise following the repetitive and vigorous use of the ligaments, tendons, bones, and cartilage that form the elbow and lower arm. Factors like the use of improper sporting equipment and incorrect technique can also contribute to an elbow condition or hasten its onset.
At Tampa Orthopaedic in Tampa, FL, we treat several conditions that can cause elbow pain, including:
- Golfers elbow
- Tennis elbow
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Arthritis
- Sprain
- Strain
- Fracture
Elbow pain treatment is highly dependent upon the underlying cause of the symptoms. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is critical to achieving prompt and lasting relief. Typically, the pain is treated conservatively and often responds well to options like physical therapy, cortisone injections, and other non-operative techniques. In the event that surgery is necessary to address debilitating pain, our Board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Murphy, performs advanced elbow surgery, which is highly effective for certain patients.
