Diagnosing Elbow Pain at Dignity Health Central Coast

Your elbow is more complex than you may realize, consisting of bones, ligaments, tendons, joint fluid, and cushioning structures called bursae. Injury or damage to any of these parts can result in elbow problems and pain. 

The most common causes of elbow pain include: 

Participating in the activities you most enjoy, like swinging a golf club, can cause overuse and injury to your elbow. This can result in chronic problems, lasting several weeks or coming and going over time. Elbow arthritis, also considered a chronic condition, can cause joint pain as you age.

Treatment for Common Elbow Conditions & Injuries

Treatment and prevention options depend on your elbow problem, severity, medical history, and risk factors. Most elbow pain responds to rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medicines.

If your pain does not respond to these more conservative treatments, your Dignity Health Central Coast doctor may recommend elbow surgery to repair damage. Physical therapy focused on your healing can help speed recovery and prevent future elbow conditions and injuries.
