Injuries & Conditions

Elbow Pain

From overuse injuries to postural strain and sports-related conditions, elbow pain has many causes - and we’re here to help you find the right solution. With a thorough assessment and evidence-based treatment, we’ll guide you from painful movement to confident recovery.

Whether it's a sharp jab when lifting, a burning ache during repetitive tasks, or a persistent discomfort that limits your grip strength, elbow pain can interfere with everything from sports and work to simple daily tasks like picking up a kettle or typing. It’s more common than you might think – and you don’t have to just “put up with it.”

Understanding Your Elbow Pain

Elbow pain can come on suddenly after a knock, strain, or overuse injury, or it can build gradually over time. It may feel localised or refer pain into the forearm, wrist, or even shoulder. Whether your pain is linked to sport, desk work, or an unknown cause, we’re here to help you understand what’s going on – and what to do next.

You may be wondering:

• “Is this tennis elbow even if I don’t play tennis?”
• “Why is my grip weak and painful?”
• “Should I rest or keep moving?”
• “Why does this keep coming back every time I use my arm?”

These are all common concerns. Our goal is to give you clarity and confidence about your condition – and a plan to get better.

Common Causes of Elbow Pain We Treat

• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) – Pain on the outside of the elbow from overuse or repetitive strain
• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) – Pain on the inside of the elbow, often from gripping or lifting
• Olecranon Bursitis – Swelling and pain at the tip of the elbow, often from pressure or trauma
• Elbow Tendinopathy – Wear and tear or inflammation of tendons due to overuse
• Ligament Sprains or Instability – Often from trauma or sports injury
• Nerve Entrapments – Such as ulnar nerve irritation (cubital tunnel syndrome)
• Postural or Repetitive Strain Injuries – From desk-based work, manual jobs, or gym training
• Referred Pain – Elbow pain may sometimes stem from the neck or shoulder

Why Early Action Matters

Delaying treatment or self-managing with rest alone may lead to recurring flare-ups or worsening symptoms. The earlier we assess your elbow, the quicker we can identify the cause and create a plan that gets you moving – and healing – again.

We don’t just treat the site of pain; we look at the whole kinetic chain – including your neck, shoulder, wrist, and movement habits – to address the true source of the problem.
