Elbow Pain

Elbow pain can significantly hinder your daily activities, from lifting and gripping to simply shaking hands. Whether it’s a nagging ache from repetitive motion or sharp pain from an injury, identifying the precise cause is key to effective treatment. At Dr. Patel Ortho Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and resolving all types of elbow pain, helping you regain strength, flexibility, and a pain-free range of motion, allowing you to get back to your active life.
  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Often stemming from repetitive wrist and arm motions, this causes pain on the outside of the elbow. It’s not just for tennis players!

  • Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow, typically from repetitive wrist flexion or forearm rotation.

  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the elbow joint, leading to swelling and tenderness.

Minimally Invasive & Surgical Options (When Necessary):

  • For persistent issues or severe injuries unresponsive to conservative care, we offer precise surgical interventions:

    • Elbow Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat conditions inside the joint, such as removing loose bodies or addressing inflammation.

    • Tendon Repair/Release: Surgical intervention for severe tendon tears or chronic epicondylitis.

    • Nerve Decompression: Procedures like ulnar nerve release for cubital tunnel syndrome.

    • Fracture Repair: Surgical fixation of elbow bone fractures to restore anatomy and function.
