Your Symptom: Elbow Pain

How Fiveways Physiotherapy can help you:

When you see a Fiveways Physiotherapy physiotherapist the first priority will be to identify the cause of your elbow pain.

Elbow pain may not occur in isolation and it may not be possible to effectively relieve your pain until the source of the problem (which may be an injury to your elbow or may be related to an issue with your shoulder or spine), is identified.

• Discuss with you what may have caused your elbow pain
  Elbow pain may result from a wide variety of issues
  
• Ligament sprain
• Arthritis/Osteoarthritis
• Bursitis
• Muscle strain
• Tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow)
  

• Examine your elbow
  Your Fiveways Physiotherapy physiotherapist will do a local examination of your elbow by testing
  
• Your muscle strength
• Your grip strength
  
• Whether ligament stress is present
  
• Active and passive movement

• Advise you where additional tests may be necessary
  Further tests may be needed to identify if anything else is contributing to your elbow pain

• Treat the injury
  Based on the diagnosis and how severe your pain is, your Fiveways Physiotherapy Physiotherapist will suggest a treatment plan and , with your permission, start treatment
  

• Mobilisation
• Electrotherapy
  
• Ultrasound, to reduce some of the ache resulting from increased activity
• Bracing and/or taping
