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.
