Elbow chiropractic in Austin, TX

Tennis elbow and other causes of elbow pain

Discomfort and pain in the elbow may differ in their nature. Perhaps the most obvious cause of elbow pain is an injury, yet there are other reasons for it. Do you perform any repetitive activities using your forearm and wrist? If so, then you might already have faced tennis elbow. This condition involves pain felt on the outer side of your elbow, along with the muscle that enables wrist extension. While such pain happens from activities that mimic swinging a racket, tennis elbow occurs not only in athletes. Piano players also face this condition quite often. If you feel the pain on the inside of the elbow, then you might have a golfer’s elbow. The repetitive motions that mimic swinging a club may result in this issue. The inflamed muscles in and around the elbow are a sign of tendinitis. This chronic condition does not occur immediately — it may take years for tendonitis to develop. Whatever causes your elbow pain, there are effective treatment options available. Here at Lifespring Chiropractic clinic, we are happy to help you. Schedule your visit today!

For what symptoms should you see a chiropractor?

Elbow-related conditions differ in terms of their symptoms. However, the following signs should alert you:

Elbow pain that is getting worse with physical activity
Stiffness and discomfort at the elbow
Weakness in arms when you hold items or shake hands
Redness of the joint caused by inflammation
Limited elbow range of motion

Have you noticed any of these symptoms in yourself? If so, don’t put off seeing a chiropractor until later. Painkillers and steroid injections that ease elbow pain have lots of side effects. Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free way to fix elbow-related conditions.

Can a chiropractor help your elbow?

The elbow consists of two bones – the radius and ulna. If either of these bones is out of alignment, it can affect the way the elbow and surrounding structures move, feel, and function. Just like with other misalignments, a doctor of chiropractic can help you fix elbow-related issues.

At Lifespring Chiropractic, we will evaluate the elbow and surrounding areas. The goal is to make sure they are in the correct alignment. Proper alignment takes the pressure off the surrounding nerves, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia.

In case of misalignments identified, our doctor of chiropractic will come up with the optimal treatment plan.

Chiropractic for golfers and tennis elbow treatment

Chiropractors are experts in alleviating symptoms of tendonitis. More importantly, they know how to find and correct the causes of the problems. Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are two common types of tendonitis that occur in the elbow. Tendons overloaded by repetitive strain are the common reason for elbow tendonitis. A tennis elbow treatment and a golfer’s elbow treatment are very similar. For the effectiveness of the treatment, finding the aggravating factors is crucial.

At Lifespring Chiropractic, we start with an elbow chiropractic adjustment to realign the elbow. This method will help with the pain and tightness associated with elbow tendonitis. We then advise lifestyle changes and techniques to strengthen the muscles in your arm. Following the tips from our doctors will help prevent future recurrence of the problems.
