Quick Overview

Elbow Pain in 30 seconds

30-Second Summary

Elbow pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint affecting up to 3% of the population for lateral epicondylitis ("tennis elbow") and 1% for medial epicondylitis ("golfer's elbow"). The elbow—a hinge joint connecting the upper arm (humerus) to the forearm (radius and ulna)—allows essential movements including flexion, extension, and rotation. Elbow pain may result from overuse injuries (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), trauma, arthritis, or bursitis. At Healers Clinic, our comprehensive integrative approach identifies the root cause and provides effective treatment combining physiotherapy, constitutional homeopathy, Ayurvedic medicine, and acupuncture.
