Diagnosing and treating your elbow pain
The elbow pain specialists at Reid Health Comprehensive Bone & Joint Center offer multidisciplinary care tailored to your specific needs. Your care will begin with a thorough evaluation and could include imaging to help guide your treatment plan.
Whenever possible, our team opts for conservative, nonsurgical care that might include:
- At-home therapies such as RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation)
- Changes to your activities
- Over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, to relieve pain and inflammation
- Physical therapy to reduce elbow pain and maintain mobility
If you need surgery, our advanced and minimally invasive procedures are designed to help you recover faster with less downtime.
- Arthroscopic surgery: Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera is inserted near the elbow joint. Using images from the camera, an orthopedic surgeon can repair damage to the elbow. Arthroscopy is a common surgical treatment for tennis elbow.
- Reconstruction surgery: Reconstruction surgery repairs UCL injuries or other tears to the tendons or ligaments in the elbow.
