Occasionally the pain doesn’t clear up straight away and can become very debilitating. Symptoms of elbow pain include pain when shaking someone’s hand, lifting a glass and even gripping a pen. Your chiropractor can diagnose the cause of your pain and help speed up recovery.
Also known as medial epicondylitis. The muscles in the forearm which allow your wrist to grip, bend and rotate become irritated and overused. It’s not limited to golfers, people may also get it from painting or using tools like screwdrivers and hammers. It is very similar to tennis elbow except the forearm muscles attaching to the inside of the elbow become strained and inflamed.
Chiropractic adjustments help to restore normal motion in the joints, decrease pain and speed up recovery. We also use soft tissue release to stretch the tight muscles and tendon attachments at the elbow. Soft tissue release works by lengthening tight muscles and breaking up scar tissue, thus helping restore normal muscle and tendon function. Simple exercises for the elbow can be helpful at reducing pain.
