Elbow Pain

Does your elbow hurt when you lift, bend, or straighten your arm? Are you dealing with stiffness, weakness, or tenderness that makes it difficult to perform daily tasks or enjoy your favorite activities?

Are you ready to move without pain and regain full use of your arm? Our safe and effective treatments can help you get there, without surgery or ongoing reliance on medications.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Elbow Pain Relief

Elbow pain often originates from misalignments in the spine, shoulder, or upper extremity joints. These imbalances can irritate nerves, create uneven strain on the elbow, and lead to muscle tension or restricted movement.

Through precise chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractor, restores alignment and improves joint mechanics throughout the body. This helps relieve pressure and supporting the elbow’s natural function.

Benefits of chiropractic care for elbow pain include:

• Reduced pain and inflammation
• Improved joint alignment and mobility
• Enhanced nervous system function
• Support for long-term structural balance

Trigger Point Injections for Muscle Tension and Inflammation

Tight, overworked muscles in the forearm and around the elbow often contribute to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement—especially in repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.

Trigger point injections deliver a safe, anti-inflammatory solution directly into these tense muscle areas to help:

• Relax muscle knots and spasms
• Improve range of motion and flexibility
• Reduce localized pain and stiffness

This treatment is highly effective for patients with chronic elbow discomfort caused by overuse or repetitive motion, offering fast relief and improved function without downtime.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Tennis Elbow is one of the most common causes of elbow pain—yet it doesn’t just affect athletes. Anyone who performs repetitive arm and wrist motions (such as typing, lifting, or using tools) can develop this painful overuse condition.

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow:

• Pain or burning on the outer part of the elbow
• Weak grip strength
• Pain that worsens with wrist extension or lifting objects
• Tenderness around the bony bump (lateral epicondyle)
• Discomfort that may radiate into the forearm

Tennis Elbow occurs when the tendons that attach to the outer elbow become inflamed or develop small tears due to overuse. If left untreated, it can become chronic and interfere with daily activities.

Our treatment approach includes:

• Soft tissue therapy and corrective exercises to strengthen the extensor muscles
• Chiropractic adjustments to improve arm and shoulder mechanics
• Shockwave therapy for selected persistent tendon problems

Most Fishers patients experience significant improvement without the need for surgery—and with a personalized care plan, we can help you prevent recurrence and restore full elbow function.

Shockwave Therapy for Persistent Elbow Tendon Pain

For chronic tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or another persistent tendon problem that has not improved with initial care, shockwave therapy may be considered. Acoustic pulses are directed to the affected tendon area and may be combined with progressive strengthening and changes to the activities that keep aggravating it.

Red light therapy may also complement care for temporary relief of minor muscle or joint discomfort. An evaluation helps separate tendon pain from arthritis, nerve irritation, or an acute injury before treatment begins.
