Elbow Pain

What is Elbow Pain?

elbow pain
Elbow Pain refers to localized soreness or radiating discomfort that originates in the joint space where your arm bones meet. This procedure and targeted clinical focus is essential for overall upper body health because elbow pain is a disruptive condition involving discomfort, stiffness, or weakness in the hinge joint where the humerus of the upper arm meets the radius and ulna of the forearm.
In the field of chiropractic, the elbow is viewed as a critical middle link that facilitates the precise mechanical relationship between the shoulder and the wrist. Because the nerves that control the arm originate in the cervical spine, chiropractors emphasize that elbow dysfunction is often a symptom of nerve irritation or structural misalignment in the neck or upper back. Rather than focusing solely on the joint itself, chiropractic care addresses the neural integrity and muscular balance of the entire upper extremity to resolve issues like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. By utilizing manual adjustments to the elbow and spine, combined with soft tissue therapy to release tension in the forearm extensors, chiropractic treatment aims to restore proper biomechanical tracking and alleviate the repetitive strain that leads to chronic inflammation and loss of grip strength. At Balderston Chiropractic, we specialize in delivering high quality Chiropractic services that prioritize your health and well being.

From your initial consultation to post treatment care, Balderston Chiropractic is with you every step of the way. During your first visit, Dr. Mark Balderston will conduct a thorough evaluation and discuss your medical history, concerns, and goals. This comprehensive approach ensures that you receive a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Common Symptoms and Conditions Treated

Elbow issues often stem from repetitive motions or sudden strain. We successfully help patients dealing with:
  • Lateral Epicondylitis: Often known as tennis elbow, causing pain on the outside of the joint.
  • Medial Epicondylitis: Commonly called golfer's elbow, affecting the inner part of the arm.
  • Nerve Entrapment: Tingling or numbness that travels from the elbow down to the fingers.
  • Bursitis: Swelling and tenderness in the small fluid sacs at the tip of the elbow.
  • Reduced Grip Strength: Weakness when trying to hold or lift objects due to joint misalignment.

The Treatment Process

The process of managing Elbow Pain at Balderston Chiropractic involves a systematic check of your upper body mechanics. We begin by assessing your neck and shoulder to ensure the nerve supply to the arm is clear. The treatment itself often includes gentle adjustments to the radius and ulna bones to ensure the hinge joint moves smoothly. We also employ specific soft tissue techniques to break up adhesions in the forearm muscles. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions and support throughout the entire process to ensure your comfort and peace of mind. We focus on balancing the muscles so that the joint is no longer pulled out of its natural alignment.

Aftercare and Follow Up

After your treatment, Balderston Chiropractic will provide you with all the necessary aftercare instructions to promote healing and achieve the best results. This may include stretches to keep your forearm muscles flexible or ergonomic suggestions for your computer setup. Follow up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have. We want to ensure that once your pain is gone, it stays gone.
