At Chiropractic On Winston, we offer tailored chiropractic and remedial massage therapies to effectively manage and treat elbow pain. Whether your discomfort stems from overuse, injury, or chronic strain, our integrated treatment approach aims to relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent recurrence.
Understanding Elbow Pain
Elbow pain can affect anyone—from athletes and office workers to tradespeople and retirees. It typically involves the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves that surround the elbow joint.
Pain may appear gradually or suddenly, depending on the cause. Left untreated, it can limit your ability to grip, lift, or perform everyday activities.
Common Causes of Elbow Pain
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow due to repetitive wrist and arm motions.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inner side of the elbow, often caused by gripping or swinging motions.
Nerve Compression and Joint Misalignment
Radial or ulnar nerve irritation may cause sharp, radiating pain or tingling in the elbow and forearm.
Misalignment of the elbow joint or nearby areas (like the shoulder, wrist, or cervical spine) can contribute to chronic discomfort.
Other Contributing Factors
Overuse or repetitive strain injuries
Poor posture during work or exercise
Trauma from falls or direct blows
Muscle imbalances in the arm or shoulder
What to Do When Elbow Pain Occurs
Preventative measures can help maintain back health:
Ergonomic Adjustments: Ensure your workspace promotes good posture.
Strengthen Core Muscles: Exercises that build core stability support the spine.
Regular Movement: Take breaks to stretch and move during prolonged sitting.

Lift Safely: Use proper techniques when lifting heavy objects.
