Elbow Pain

Carrying out a normal routine while suffering from elbow pain is incredibly challenging. From the sharp twinge when your hand wraps around a morning coffee cup to the strain that shoots through your arm when you lift a bag of groceries, living a normal life seems impossible. None of those movements should hurt, yet for many people, they do, every single day.

​

Layton Injury Center and our experienced chiropractors offer an alternative treatment to prescription medication and invasive procedures. We work closely with patients experiencing elbow pain in Milwaukee and its surrounding communities, helping them get back to the life they were living before the pain started.

Common Elbow Conditions We Treat

At Layton Injury Center, we treat a wide range of elbow conditions, including:

  • Tennis elbow (Lateral epicondylitis)

  • Golfer's elbow (Medial epicondylitis)

  • Joint dysfunction and overuse

  • Nerve entrapment

When You Should Seek Chiropractic Care

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s best to reach out to our compassionate chiropractors at Layton Injury Center for a detailed assessment:

  • Dull, constant aching on either side of the elbow joint

  • Sharp pain when carrying out your daily routine

  • Stiffness and a noticeably decreased range of motion

  • Weakened grip

  • A feeling of heaviness in the forearm and wrist

  • Numbness or a tingling sensation that radiates down into the fingers​

Benefits of Choosing Chiropractic Care for Elbow Pain

Prescription medications and steroid injections only offer temporary relief, and eventually, your doctor may recommend surgical intervention. All of this comes with side effects and long-term health degradation, which is why we always recommend chiropractic care. Here are some of the benefits it offers:

  • It targets the root cause of the problem, providing long-term relief without the need for medication.

  • It avoids cortisone damage that’s common with repetitive steroid injections.

  • It strengthens the elbows and muscles around them, restoring grip and flexibility.

  • It reduces the risk of surgeries.

Neck and Shoulders Could Be the Real Source of Elbow Pain

Most people think of elbow pain as a local problem, but in reality, it could be something else. Since every nerve in the shoulder, arm, and elbow is connected to the cervical spine in your neck, the root cause of your elbow pain could be anywhere along this path.

​

When a vertebra in the neck or a joint in the shoulder shifts out of place, it can exert pressure directly onto the nerve roots. This sends pain signals down the entire arm, which is why people who receive localized treatment often find that the pain keeps returning.

​

For accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations, a thorough assessment of the neck, shoulder, arm, and elbow is important.

Our Natural Approach to Elbow Recovery

Before considering invasive surgeries and injections, reach out to Layton Injury Center for a second opinion. Depending on your condition, our qualified chiropractors can address the problem causing your elbow pain through our research-backed approach to joint recovery.

This includes:

  1. ​Targeted Extremity Adjustments: To restore correct alignment and tracking between the bones, we deliver gentle, controlled manipulations that help reduce friction and stress on the surrounding tendons.

  2. Spinal Alignments: Through outcome-based spinal alignments, our professional chiropractors gradually correct cervical subluxations in the neck, alleviating nerve pressure and restoring balanced muscle recruitment throughout the entire arm.

  3. Soft Tissue Mobilization: With specialized manual therapies, we break the scar tissues in your muscles that’ve accumulated over time, restoring normal tissue flexibility and circulation to the affected area.​

What to Expect During Your Initial Evaluation

Here is what you can expect during your initial evaluation session at Layton Injury Center:

  1. Comprehensive Assessment: A detailed evaluation of your arm movement, grip strength, and overall joint stability to establish a clear picture of where the dysfunction is and how far it has progressed.

  2. Kinetic Chain Examination: A hands-on review of your neck, shoulder, and wrist alignment to pinpoint exactly where the mechanical failure begins, because the elbow is rarely the whole story.

  3. Personalized Care Plan: A tailored recovery strategy built around your specific injury pattern, combining joint adjustments, soft tissue work, and simple home stretches to accelerate healing and prevent the problem from returning.
