ELBOW PAIN?
Elbow Pain & Tendinitis Treatment in Whittier, CA
Do you have elbow pain that worsens when gripping, lifting, typing, or twisting your wrist? You may be dealing with elbow tendinitis — a common condition that develops when the tendons around the elbow become irritated or develop small tears from repetitive stress.
Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow
-
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, usually from repetitive wrist extension or gripping.
-
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow, caused by overuse of the forearm muscles that flex the wrist and fingers.
👉 Despite their names, you don’t need to play tennis or golf to develop these conditions. They are often caused by repetitive motions in everyday life or work, such as:
-
Typing and computer work
-
Using hand tools or wrenches
-
Working on cars and motorcycles
-
Carrying heavy objects or repetitive lifting at work
-
Home projects or hobbies requiring gripping and twisting
