Elbow pain can significantly disrupt your daily life, making tasks like gripping, carrying, or even turning a key difficult. At West Kirby Physiotherapy, we specialise in diagnosing and treating elbow pain with a personalised approach, helping you regain function and reduce discomfort.
Understanding Elbow Pain
Elbow pain is often a result of overuse and strain, especially in those who perform repetitive movements or heavy lifting. Conditions such as Golfer’s elbow (pain on the inside of the elbow) and Tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow) are common and typically associated with stress on the elbow and forearm muscles.
Symptoms of Elbow Pain
If you’re dealing with elbow pain, you might experience:
– Tightness in the forearm
– Stiffness in the wrist
– Weakness in the wrist muscles
– Persistent pain in the elbow
These symptoms often indicate overuse or strain on the elbow tendons.
