Understand the pain.
The first step to treating elbow pain is understanding the cause. Describe your symptoms: Is the pain dull and persistent or sharp and sudden? Are your symptoms new, or have they worsened over time? Do you experience tingling, numbness, or limited movement? Pain in these areas can result from a one-time injury, long-term stress, repetitive movements, or existing conditions. Identifying the source helps tailor the best treatment approach.
Common causes of pain.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Only affects 1%-3% of the US population and is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. This condition leads to numbness, tingling, weakness, pain, and discomfort in the fingers, hands, and arms.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Caused by compression of the cubital tunnel in the elbow and is associated with excessive elbow pressure, repeated bending, and fluid buildup. Common causes include injury, infection, synovitis, bursitis, gout, and lupus.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of a fluid-filled pouch (bursa) in the joints, resulting in pain, swelling, heat, and restricted range of motion. It is often caused by repetitive movement, excessive pressure, injury, or infection.
- Arthritis: Affects 25% of the population and involves general joint inflammation, with over 100 specific types such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This condition is a common source of pain in the elbows, wrists, and hands.
- If these don't match your symptoms, our certified physical therapists can help identify the cause and treatment.
Diagnosing the elbow pain.
Whether your pain stems from an injury, medical condition, or chronic strain on your elbows, wrists, or hands, Hands-On physical therapists use specialized, advanced diagnostics to identify the exact source of your discomfort.
