ELBOW CARE

The joint of your elbow is one of the most frequently moved parts of your body. When issues occur they can affect your range of motion and cause a great deal of pain, pain that can impede you mobility and reduce your ability to do things independently. Physicians in the MPOWERHealth network are orthopedic specialists and are well equipped to treat any condition that can affect this area of your body.

01

COMMON SYMPTOMS

In many cases painful motion of the elbow comes from the wear and tear induced during repetitive use of the hand and arm. This can occur in activities related to work, sports, and even hobbies. Many of the common symptoms and issues associated with elbow pain incluce:

  • Grating or popping feeling
  • Locking of the joint
  • Loss of range of motion
  • Numbness
  • Pain or discomfort
  • Swelling or stiffness

Sometimes these symptoms are caused by medical conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Quickly addressing these issues can help prevent further harm that may further hinder your ability to go about your daily activities, or participate in the sports and hobbies you love.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

You can trust our experts to diagnose and treat novel or chronic elbow conditions, including:

  • Olecranon Bursitis – Redness, inflammation and swelling at the end of the elbow.
  • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome – Tingling and numbness and sometimes pain in the hand.
  • Fracture or Ligamentous Injury – injury induced tears of fractures
  • Lateral Epicondylitis – also known as tennis elbow, typically presents as inflammation of the muscles and tendons on the outside of the elbow.
  • Medial Epicondylitis – also known as golfer’s elbow, typically presents as inflammation of the muscles and tendons on the inside of the elbow and can affect grip strength
  • Elbow Arthritis – wearing down of the elbow joint that can cause pain and stiffness that make regular activities difficult.
  • Biceps Tendon Tear – tearing of the biceps tendon just below the elbow.

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS

Non-surgical options can treat the vast majority of issues associated with elbow pain. Your doctor will work with your physical therapist to treat your pain using the latest and most effective methods. These methods often include:

  • Activity changes, such as an exercise and calisthenics
  • Over-the-counter and/or prescription medications
  • Targeted injections
  • Physical therapy

ELBOW SURGERY

If your condition requires surgical options, our highly trained specialist will employ the latest techniques and technology to treat your conditions with safe and proven surgical methods.

Elbow Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is the use of micro cameras and other tools to view, diagnose, and treat elbow conditions. These treatments are typically done in an outpatient setting, meaning you don’t have to expect a hospital stay and will be able to go home after the procedure.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENTS FOR TENDONITIS

MPOWERHealth physicians employ state of the art tools and techniques, many of which are minimally invasive and proven at treating elbow tendonitis. Non-surgical treatments such as ultrasound may be used where surgical incisions are unnecessary.

ELBOW JOINT REPLACEMENT

Elbow arthroplasty is an option for when an elbow joint has deteriorated to the point that it needs replaced. A new elbow joint can decrease discomfort and pain while helping you regain mobility.

MPOWERHealth’s fully integrated network of physicians and therapist help guarantee that you will have a team of experts on your side to help through every stage of your treatment. This improves outcomes and gives you peace of mind.
