Getting to the Cause of Elbow Injuries & Conditions at DCPG
Elbow pain can make even simple tasks like lifting a cup of coffee or turning a doorknob challenging and painful. At DCPG, we understand how elbow problems can affect your daily activities and quality of life. Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury, work-related strain, or chronic condition, our comprehensive approach can help restore function and reduce pain.
Understanding Different Types of Elbow Pain
Your elbow is a complex joint that allows for both strength and precision movements. Common elbow conditions we treat include
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow, often caused by repetitive wrist and arm movements.
- Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow, typically from repetitive gripping or flexing activities.
- Arthritis: Including rheumatoid, post-traumatic, and osteoarthritis, causing joint pain and stiffness.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons connecting muscles to bones, often from overuse.
- Nursemaid's Elbow: Common in young children, where a ligament slips between the elbow bones.
Our Diagnostic Approach and Comprehensive Treatment at DCPG
Before beginning treatment, we conduct a thorough examination to identify the exact cause of your elbow pain. We may recommend X-rays to rule out bone fractures or structural issues, as fractures can occur in various parts of the elbow, such as the radial head. Understanding the precise nature of your injury helps us develop the most effective treatment plan.
Many people don’t realize that elbow problems can relate to neck and upper back issues. The nerves controlling your elbow and arm function originate in your cervical spine. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve function, it can affect your elbow’s strength, coordination, and healing ability.
We’ll carefully evaluate where and how to help you with gentle spinal adjustments to improve nerve function and specific elbow joint mobilizations.
We may also recommend additional therapies such as
- Soft tissue therapy for surrounding muscles
- Red light or cold laser therapy
- Active release techniques for tendon problems
- Therapeutic exercises for strengthening
- Ice or heat therapy protocols
- Specific stretching routines
- Bracing, support devices and compression wrapping techniques when needed
Remember, early intervention is key to preventing chronic elbow problems. Whether you’re an athlete dealing with tennis elbow, an office worker with repetitive strain, or someone experiencing arthritis symptoms, our team at (INSERT PRACTICE NAME) can help you find relief and restore function to your elbow.

Ellie is absolutely amazing! I had neck and upper back pain for over 8 months having visited a number of physio and consultants, no success. Ellie identified the problem in the first session and had it fixed in the next two. Great energy, great passion. Definitely recommend. Thank you.
