The elbow is one of the more complex structures in the body, allowing us to extend and flex our forearms and rotate our hands. When pain is experienced in the elbow, it typically results from “overuse” injuries, such as repetitive hand, wrist, or arm movements common in sports, hobbies, and jobs. In fact, several elbow injuries are named after sports activities that often produce elbow pain, such as Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow.

Whether you’re having difficulty moving your joint due to an injury or just normal wear and tear, our surgeons and physical therapists can provide you with comprehensive options, ranging from nonsurgical antibiotic treatments to elbow replacement surgery to reduce your pain and increase your range of motion.
