Elbow & Arm Pain

Elbow or arm pain making daily tasks difficult or painful?

Elbow and arm pain can interfere with simple activities like lifting, gripping, typing, or reaching. Pain may develop gradually from repetitive use or suddenly after an injury. At Advanced Physical Medicine Center, our doctors focus on understanding what is causing your elbow or arm pain and how it is affecting your daily routine.

We help patients with elbow and arm pain related to work activities, sports, repetitive motion, nerve irritation, and past injuries. Through hands-on care and guided treatment, our providers work to reduce pain, restore strength, and improve function.

Why Am I Experiencing Elbow or Arm Pain?

The elbow and arm are involved in nearly every upper-body movement, which makes them vulnerable to overuse and strain. Pain may originate from muscles, tendons, joints, or nerves, and it can sometimes be referred from the neck or shoulder.

Our doctors focus on identifying the true source of your pain so treatment can address the root cause. Common causes of elbow and arm pain include:

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

Overuse of the forearm muscles that causes pain on the outside of the elbow.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Nerve compression at the wrist that can cause pain, tingling, or weakness that travels into the arm.

Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

Tendon irritation on the inside of the elbow caused by repetitive gripping or wrist movement.

Biceps or triceps injuries

Strains or tears that cause pain with lifting or pushing movements.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of tendons from repetitive motion or overuse of the arm.

Shoulder or neck-related nerve pain

Referred pain from the cervical spine or shoulder affecting the arm.

Muscle strains

Overstretching or tearing of muscles due to lifting, pulling, or sudden movements.

Fractures or trauma

Injury from falls, accidents, or direct impact to the arm or elbow.

Cubital tunnel syndrome

Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, often causing numbness or tingling in the ring and small fingers.

Post-surgical arm pain

Weakness, stiffness, or nerve sensitivity following surgery.

Radial tunnel syndrome

Nerve compression that leads to aching pain in the forearm.

Repetitive strain injuries

Ongoing stress from work, sports, or daily activities that overload the arm.
