ELBOW PAIN
Elbow pain can turn simple everyday tasks — like lifting groceries, opening doors, typing, or exercising — into frustrating and painful experiences.
Whether you’re dealing with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), bursitis, or a repetitive strain injury, our experienced physiotherapists and chiropractors can help.
We thoroughly assess the root cause of your elbow pain and create a personalized treatment plan using manual therapy, targeted strengthening and flexibility exercises, and practical activity modifications. Our goal is to reduce pain and inflammation, restore full function, and help you return to work, sport, and daily activities — pain-free and with confidence.
Common Causes of Elbow Pain
- Repetitive overuse of the forearm muscles (common in tennis, golf, or racquet sports)
- Overload from gripping or lifting heavy objects
- Trauma such as fractures, dislocations, or sprains
- Arthritis or degenerative joint changes
- Motor vehicle accidents and whiplash-related injuries (ICBC claims)
- Poor posture and improper ergonomic
Common Symptoms of Elbow Pain
Elbow pain can show up in different ways and may include one or more of the following symptoms:
- Pain around the elbow that radiates into the upper arm, forearm, or hand
- Tenderness and swelling around the joint
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of rest
- Tingling or numbness in the forearm or fingers (often due to nerve involvement)
- Weakness in the affected arm or hand
- Limited range of motion in the elbow or wrist
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, early assessment by our experienced physiotherapists or chiropractors can help identify the cause and start effective treatment.
