The elbow is a joint comprised of three bones (humerus, radius, ulna). This complex hinge joint includes a variety of joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles that are common sites for many injuries. Many conditions of the elbow are caused by dysfunction of the shoulder and wrist, as it serves as the connecting link between the two extremities.
The elbow is one of the most susceptible regions for repetitive stress injuries, and elbow dysfunction can be linked to a variety of common conditions. It can be responsible for pain in the elbow, wrist, forearm and other regions of the body. Elbow pain has many different origins and presentations and should always be evaluated by a medical professional.

OUR DIFFERENCE:
Elbow pain has many origins and presentations and can affect a patient in many different ways. The region of pain might not be the region that is causing your current issue. Our team of doctors evaluates each patient through a detailed history and comprehensive physical exam that includes a series of dynamic and static tests, postural evaluation, and examination of the lower or upper extremity movement patterns that trigger your symptoms. This thorough examination will allow us to identify what is causing your pain or dysfunction and begin working on an individualized treatment plan with corrective exercises that fits your exact needs.
