BEST PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR ELBOW PAIN IN ZAKIR NAGAR-PHYSIONAUTICS
Elbow pain can stem from various causes, including muscle strain, tennis elbow,
medial epicondylitis, fractures, and dislocations. In addition to pain, you
might experience reduced range of motion, difficulty moving the arm, swelling,
and redness around the elbow. Sometimes, the pain can radiate to the fingers or
shoulder.
So, what could be causing this
pain? It may result from repeated injuries, minor trauma—such as those from
sports—or more significant incidents like falls or accidents. In children, a
common cause is a forceful pull on the elbow, known as nursemaid\'s elbow. Elbow
pain can greatly affect daily activities, especially those involving lifting,
gripping, or reaching.
What Causes Elbow Pain?
Injuries: Acute injuries
like fractures or ligament sprains often occur due to falls or direct impacts,
resulting in immediate pain and swelling.
Overuse Injuries:
Conditions such as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow
(medial epicondylitis) are common among individuals performing repetitive arm
movements, causing inflammation of the tendons around the elbow due to
overexertion.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis
and rheumatoid arthritis can lead to joint pain and stiffness in the elbow,
resulting in discomfort during movement.
Bursitis: Olecranon
bursitis occurs when the bursa at the back of the elbow becomes inflamed, often
due to repeated pressure or trauma.
Nerve Compression:
Conditions like cubital tunnel syndrome involve nerve compression around the
elbow, causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm.
