Care for Elbow Pain That Fits Your Needs
Your elbow is a complex joint that lets you bend, straighten, and rotate your arm. You use it every day for activities like lifting, opening doors, carrying groceries, or playing sports. Because you use it so much, it’s common to develop pain in your elbow, forearm, hand, or upper arm, especially if you repeat the same movements over and over.
At Impact Medical Group, we help patients find relief from elbow pain caused by injuries or long-term conditions. Our team starts with the most conservative treatments first and only recommends surgery if absolutely necessary. We also teach you how to prevent future problems with exercises and helpful tips.
What Causes Elbow Pain?
Pain can stem from a noticeable injury, overuse from repetitive motions, or age-related wear and tear. If pain lasts more than a week, it’s time to see a doctor.
Fractures & Dislocations
Usually result from a fall, accident, or a hard impact to the joint.
Tendinitis (Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow)
Caused by overuse and inflammation of the tendons attached to the elbow.
Tendon Ruptures
Occurs when a tendon tears, leading to sudden, sharp pain and weakness.
Sprains & Strains
Stretching or tearing of ligaments or muscles surrounding the elbow joint.
Nerve Compression
Such as cubital tunnel syndrome, causing numbness and tingling in the arm and hand.
Autoimmune Conditions
Like rheumatoid arthritis, which can cause chronic swelling and joint damage.

How We Diagnose and Treat Elbow Pain
We start with a detailed examination and use advanced tools to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain, ensuring an effective treatment plan.
Advanced Diagnosis
- X-rays to get a clear view of the bones and identify fractures or abnormalities.
- MRI Scans to visualize soft tissues like tendons and ligaments in high detail.
- Ultrasound to watch how your joint, muscles, and tendons move in real-time.
- Arthroscopy to look inside the joint with a tiny camera for a direct diagnosis, if needed.
Conservative Treatment First
- Physical Therapy plans to strengthen muscles and stretch your elbow for better mobility.
- Splinting or Casting to aid in joint stabilization and promote proper healing.
- Injections to reduce inflammation and provide significant pain relief.
- Medication to ease pain and swelling during your recovery.
If these options don’t help or if your condition is severe, we may discuss surgery. Our team can perform minimally invasive procedures or repair serious injuries when necessary.
