Elbow discomfort
At Enid Live Well, we understand that elbow pain can significantly impact your daily activities, from typing at a desk to enjoying your favorite sports. Whether you’re dealing with an acute injury, chronic discomfort, or age-related wear and tear, our team of experts is here to help you find relief, restore function, and return to your normal routine. Our elbow pain management services are designed to treat the root causes of discomfort and provide lasting solutions.
Common Causes of Elbow Pain
Elbow pain can be the result of many different factors, from overuse to injuries. Some of the most common causes of elbow discomfort include:
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Caused by repetitive strain or overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons, leading to pain on the outside of the elbow.
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow, but the pain occurs on the inside of the elbow due to overuse of the forearm muscles.
- Elbow Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the elbow joint due to repetitive movements or injury.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction in the joint, leading to swelling and pain around the elbow.
- Fractures: A break in the bones of the elbow, which can occur due to trauma or sudden injury.
- Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the elbow, causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- Nerve Compression: Conditions like cubital tunnel syndrome, which involve compression of the ulnar nerve, can lead to pain, tingling, and numbness in the elbow and forearm.
Personalized Treatment for Elbow Pain
At Enid Live Well, we provide a wide range of treatments designed to target the underlying cause of your elbow pain, alleviate discomfort, and promote healing. Our goal is to help you recover quickly and safely, with a focus on long-term wellness and injury prevention.
Physical Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists specialize in treating elbow pain through a variety of techniques that improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Depending on your condition, physical therapy may include:
- Strengthening exercises to improve the muscles around the elbow joint
- Stretching and mobility work to reduce stiffness
- Manual therapy techniques to improve joint function
- Postural and movement training to prevent re-injury
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors can help realign the elbow and optimize the function of the entire arm and upper body. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve tension and inflammation in the joint and surrounding tissues, which can be particularly effective for tendonitis and nerve compression issues.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage helps release tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow to the elbow area. Our experienced massage therapists use techniques such as deep tissue and trigger point therapy to target areas of tension, helping to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Regenerative Medicine
For patients dealing with chronic elbow pain, especially due to tendonitis, arthritis, or overuse injuries, we offer regenerative treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy. These innovative therapies stimulate healing at the cellular level by utilizing your body’s own natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses focused light to penetrate deep into the tissues of the elbow. It reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and alleviates pain without the need for invasive procedures or medications. This safe and non-invasive treatment is an excellent option for those with tendonitis, bursitis, and arthritis.
Bracing and Support
If your elbow pain is caused by instability or injury, we may recommend wearing a brace to provide support and limit movement during the healing process. A custom elbow brace or orthotic can help reduce strain on the joint and protect it from further injury during everyday activities or sports.
Pain Management
For more severe cases of elbow pain, we offer advanced pain management techniques, including:
- Ultrasound-guided injections (corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid) to reduce inflammation and relieve pain
- Activity modifications and lifestyle recommendations to prevent strain on the elbow
- Non-invasive pain relief options, including hot and cold therapy, to manage flare-ups and discomfort
