Treatment will vary depending on the elbow disorder and symptoms you experience. In some cases where symptoms do not improve, surgical intervention may be required. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan based on the underlying issue.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Supportive Therapy
Rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE) may be recommended to reduce pain and swelling.
Lifestyle Changes
Ensure proper technique during physical activities, engage in warm-up and cool-down routines before and after exercise, and use protective gear when needed. Maintaining good posture and avoiding prolonged periods of immobility can also help prevent elbow pain.
Physiotherapy
Based on your anatomy, joint functioning, and disease progression, a physiotherapist may recommend stretching and strengthening exercises. They can also guide you through exercises and activities that improve your strength, movement, and everyday tasks like reaching, lifting, and carrying objects.
Alternative Treatments
Other methods to alleviate elbow pain include corticosteroid injections, braces, ultrasound therapy and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
Do not wait to seek professional medical advice. If you are experiencing elbow pain and are unsure if it is orthopaedic-related, it is best to consult an orthopaedic specialist.
