The human elbow is prone to a variety of ailments ranging from tendonitis to bursitis to traumatic injury. Of these, the most common is tennis elbow, a condition where tendons surrounding the bony joint known as the lateral epicondyle become inflamed with overuse, resulting in persistent pain.
Treating tennis elbow properly requires more than just rest and painkillers; it also requires a deep understanding of the biomechanics that led to the injury in the first place. If your work or hobby involves repeated twisting motions, for instance, an orthopedic specialist may need to help you find better ways to do the work without injuring this region.
My orthopedic surgery practice specializes in treating elbow pain and helping patients find their way back to an active and fulfilling schedule.
