Elbow Pain
Osteoarthritis/Olecranon Bursitis
The most common form of arthritis and is due to the normal “wear-and-tear” of the joint due to our daily activities.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited function to multiple joints. It is triggered by a faulty immune system.
Medial & Lateral Epicondylitis
Medial epicondylitis is caused by repetitive micro-trauma to the flexor tendons of the forearm. Lateral epicondylitis is caused by repetitive micro-trauma to the extensor tendons of the forearm.
Bicipital Tendonitis
This is an inflammatory condition that results in limited shoulder position and function secondary to pain.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome is otherwise known as ulnar nerve entrapment or stretching/pinching at the elbow. This syndrome may be caused by direct trauma to the ulnar nerve as it passes through the tunnel or via repetitive elbow motion. This syndrome causes pain and numbness and tingling down the forearm into the 4th and 5th fingers (ring and little finger).
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic, evolving, painful and progressive condition that affects the distal extremities often following a traumatic injury.
