Personalized Physical Therapy with Dr. Carlos Gamero
What Causes Elbow Pain?
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
An overuse injury involving inflammation or small tears in the tendons on the outside of the elbow. Common in athletes, weightlifters, and office workers.
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
A similar overuse injury, but affecting the tendons on the inner side of the elbow. Often related to gripping, pulling, or repetitive arm movements.
- Elbow Fractures
Breaks in the elbow bones (radius, ulna, humerus) caused by falls, direct trauma, or high-impact sports.
- Bursitis
Inflammation of the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the elbow joint, causing pain, swelling, and tenderness.
- Tendinitis
Irritation and inflammation of the tendons around the elbow, often resulting from repetitive strain or improper mechanics.
- Arthritis
Joint degeneration from osteoarthritis or other forms of arthritis may cause stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion.
Symptoms of Elbow Conditions
Elbow pain can vary in severity and presentation, depending on the cause. You may experience:
- Localized pain in the elbow, forearm, or upper arm
- Swelling or warmth near the joint
- Difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating the arm
- Weak grip strength or arm fatigue
- Pain when lifting, gripping, or extending the wrist
