While elbow pain and discomfort isn't generally a serious condition, it can be quite annoying. Because we constantly use our elbows every minute of every day, elbow pain can take a toll on your life pretty quickly.

The elbow is a series of intricate joints that gives you the ability to extend, flex and rotate your hand and forearm. Many of these movements are a mixture of these actions, which is why it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint what exactly brings on the pain.

Over and over again chiropractic care has been proven to be a safe and effective therapy for elbow pain that also promotes overall health and restores strength without the need for potentially risky surgery or harmful medications.

When it comes to elbow pain, chiropractic not only aims to relieve the pain itself but to find the underlying structural issues (muscles, skeleton, etc.) that are responsible for the symptoms being there in the first place.

What Causes Elbow Pain?

It isn’t just a major trauma. Often times elbow pain is the result of overuse. Many sports, activities and jobs demand hand, wrist or arm movements to be repeated tens, hundreds, even thousands of times which can negatively affect the joints and ligaments within your elbow.

Some common causes that trigger elbow pain and their common conditions include:

• A broken arm or wrist
• Tennis Elbow
• Tendinitis
• Golfer's elbow
• Any damage to the ligaments that can cause sprains and tears
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Stress fractures
• Nerves that have become pressed or trapped
• Dislocations
• Bursitis

What Are The Symptoms Of Elbow Pain or Discomfort?

Pain in the elbow itself is generally the most common symptom experienced. Other symptoms of elbow pain can include inflammation, tenderness in the affected region, joint pain that travels down your forearm into your wrists and hands from bending, extending or rotating, and the inability to move the elbow all-together.
