Dealing with elbow pain can be a real nuisance, affecting everything from your work to your hobbies. Whether it’s a sharp pain, a dull ache, or the nagging discomfort of tennis elbow, you’re likely looking for a lasting solution.
While you might not immediately think of a chiropractor for elbow pain, our whole-body approach can be incredibly effective. We focus on addressing the pain and understanding its root cause.
One of the first things we consider is that the pain you’re feeling in your elbow might not be starting there. Your elbow is part of a connected system that includes your wrist, shoulder, and neck.
The nerves that control your arm and hand originate in your neck. If there are any issues with the alignment of your neck or upper back, it can lead to problems further down the arm.
This is why we often find that elbow pain can be linked to underlying issues in the neck and spine.
When you come to us with elbow pain, we take a comprehensive look at your health history and carry out a thorough physical chiropractic examination. We don’t just focus on the site of the pain; we assess your entire musculoskeletal system.
We check the alignment and mobility of your elbow, wrist, shoulder, and neck. This helps us identify any areas of restriction that could be contributing to your discomfort.
This detailed assessment helps us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your elbow pain, which is key to providing effective and lasting relief.
Once we have a clear picture of what’s going on, we can create a personalised care plan to help you. This may involve gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments to your spine, shoulder, or elbow to restore proper movement.
We may also use soft tissue chiropractic techniques to release tension in the surrounding muscles. Our goal is to improve the function of your elbow and related areas, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation.
We’ll also provide you with advice on exercises and lifestyle modifications. These can support your recovery and prevent the problem from returning.
At Copa Chiropractic, we believe in looking at the bigger picture. Elbow pain is often a sign that there’s an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
Our holistic approach is designed to focus on the health of your entire musculoskeletal system. This helps you find relief from elbow pain and improve your overall well-being.
