Elbow pain
Elbow pain can affect individuals of all ages, whether caused by injury, repetitive strain, or underlying conditions. At RAD Cinics, we offer precise ultrasound-guided injections to provide relief from elbow pain, helping you regain function and ease discomfort.
The elbow is a hinge joint made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that work together to allow movement and flexibility. When any of these components are injured or inflamed, it can result in pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Common causes of elbow pain include:
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Inflammation or tears in the tendons on the outside of the elbow can cause pain during gripping or lifting activities.
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): This condition causes pain on the inside of the elbow due to overuse of the forearm muscles.
- Olecranon Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the elbow, can lead to swelling and pain.
- Elbow Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the cartilage in the elbow joint can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
