Understanding elbow pain
The elbow is a hinge joint that works closely with the shoulder, wrist and hand. When load, repetition or movement patterns change, the tissues around the elbow can become irritated or overloaded.
Elbow pain may be influenced by:
- Repetitive gripping or lifting
- Gym training or sport related strain
- Desk work, mouse or keyboard use
- Manual or trade based work
- Sudden increases in activity
- Reduced shoulder or wrist mobility
- Muscle tension through the forearm
Two of the most common elbow conditions we see are tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.
- Repetitive gripping or lifting
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow explained
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia)
Tennis elbow typically presents as pain on the outside of the elbow. It is commonly associated with gripping, lifting or repetitive wrist and forearm movements. Despite the name, it affects many people who do not play tennis, including gym goers, office workers and tradespeople.
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylalgia)
Golfer’s elbow is felt on the inside of the elbow and may be aggravated by gripping, wrist flexion or pulling movements. It can also be linked to repetitive use, load changes or poor movement coordination.
Both conditions are often related to how load is managed through the arm, rather than a single isolated issue at the elbow.
How chiropractic care may help elbow pain
Chiropractic care takes a whole body approach to elbow pain. We assess how the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and nervous system are working together to manage load and movement.
Chiropractic care for elbow pain may aim to:
- Reduce muscle tension through the forearm and upper limb
- Support joint movement in the elbow, shoulder and wrist
- Improve load tolerance and movement efficiency
- Support confidence with gripping, lifting and training
- Assist nervous system regulation
Care is individualised and adapted over time based on how your body responds.
