Elbow
The elbow is a complex joint connecting the upper and lower arm, providing both stability and precise movement. It’s involved in nearly all daily activities, making it prone to strain and injury.
Common Elbow Conditions
Elbow pain is often caused by repetitive movements, overuse, or sports activity. Common conditions include tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), both resulting from irritation of the tendons around the joint.
Treatment
Physiotherapy helps reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and restore strength. Treatment may include manual therapy, shockwave therapy, acupuncture, and targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the elbow.
Prevention
To prevent elbow problems, it’s important to strengthen the forearm muscles, avoid prolonged repetitive strain, and use proper technique during work or sports. Regular exercise and proper warm-up can help prevent recurrence.
