Do I need physical therapy for my elbow pain?
The elbow is a relatively simple joint, but it can take a lot of force when fallen onto or used to throw a ball. Traumatic incidents and overuse are two of the most common reasons for elbow pain. Traumatic incidents typically occur when someone falls onto an outstretched hand, and overuse injuries come from overhead throwers. Overuse is most common in baseball and has been coined “Little League Elbow”. Tennis Elbow is also a common overuse injury stemming from an unusually large amount of backhand swings in tennis. Because the elbow is simple, typically there is an easy, but specific, fix for your elbow pain. We can help you discover this fix and get back to enjoying the activities you love.
