elbow conditions treated
elbow pain & discomfort
Elbow pain is most often caused by overuse. Sports or work activities that require repetitive motions of the hand, wrist or arm can result in inflammation of the elbow's tendons. The discomfort felt is known as tendonitis. In addition to overuse, pain in the elbow can come from a fracture, arthritis, sprains and bursitis of inflammation of the joint cushions.
Home treatment for sore elbows involves resting, applying heat, completing stretches or wearing a brace. It is important to seek treatment from a qualified specialist if your elbow is not responding to treatment OR if you have suffered an immediate injury (fracture, break, etc.)
