Why Does Your Elbow Hurt?
Your elbows do more than you think — helping you lift, reach, carry and grip. When your elbow is paining, everyday tasks like carrying groceries or typing at your desk can quickly become frustrating.
At Advancing Movement with Physical Therapy (AMPT) in Houston, we help you understand what’s causing your elbow pain and create a plan to fix it for good.
Some common reasons for pain include:
- Inner elbow pain — Often called golfer’s elbow, this comes from overuse of the tendons on the inside of the elbow.
- Outer elbow pain — Also known as tennis elbow, this affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow and is common with repetitive gripping or lifting.
- Elbow joint pain — May result from arthritis or cartilage wear and tear.
- Pain when bending or straightening — Could be linked to tendonitis, muscle strain or nerve irritation.
- Pain in upper arm between elbow and shoulder — May indicate referred pain or related muscle issues that a physical therapist can help diagnose.
If you have pain in the inside of the elbow, pain when lifting or pain on the outside of the elbow, a physical therapist can help relieve tension, rebuild strength and get you back to daily activities without discomfort.
