Effective Treatment for Elbow Pain in Canary Wharf
Introduction
Welcome to myChiro Clinic in Canary Wharf. We specialise in providing outstanding care for individuals suffering from elbow pain. Our dedicated team of chiropractors, physiotherapists, and sports massage therapists offer personalised treatment solutions to manage and alleviate your pain effectively.
Understanding Elbow Pain
Elbow pain can arise from various causes, such as repetitive strain injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, or traumatic injuries. Common conditions affecting the elbow include tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and cubital tunnel syndrome. Our experienced team will assess your specific symptoms and create a tailored treatment plan to address your needs.
Our Treatment Techniques
- Targeted Exercises: We recommend specific exercises to improve muscle strength and flexibility in the elbow and surrounding areas. These exercises are part of your appointments and home exercise programme. Studies have shown that targeted physical therapy can significantly reduce symptoms of conditions like tennis elbow (Cleveland Clinic) (Spine-health).
- Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments may be used to realign the elbow joint and improve overall function, reducing pain and inflammation. Research indicates that chiropractic manipulative therapy can effectively treat conditions such as lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) (Mayo Clinic).
- Dry Needling (Medical Acupuncture): This technique helps release muscle tension and reduce pain in the elbow.
- Collaborative Approach: Our team includes chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists, working together to provide comprehensive care. Each professional brings their expertise to create a holistic treatment plan.
Self-Care Options
For managing elbow pain at home, self-care methods such as over-the-counter pain relief (e.g., ibuprofen), heat/cold therapy, and gentle stretching exercises can be beneficial. Avoiding repetitive strain and using ergonomic aids can also help. For instance, using a wrist brace can reduce strain on the elbow during activities. However, professional guidance is essential for persistent or severe symptoms.
Recognise Serious Symptoms
If you experience additional symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, numbness, or difficulty moving your elbow, seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms may indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires specialised care.
Why Choose Our Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, holistic approach to managing elbow pain. By focusing on realigning the elbow joint and reducing muscle tension, chiropractic treatments can provide long-lasting relief. Our approach may also include nutritional advice, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic recommendations to support your overall well-being. For example, maintaining proper posture and using correct techniques during physical activities can significantly reduce the risk of elbow injuries.
