Elbow pain can make even routine movements uncomfortable, from lifting groceries and typing at work to exercising or participating in sports. When stiffness, instability, or persistent discomfort affects your ability to use your arm normally, specialized care can make a meaningful difference. At Orthopedic Associates, our orthopedic surgeons provide expert evaluation and advanced treatment options to help patients regain comfort, mobility, and confidence.
The elbow is a complex joint that allows both bending and rotation of the arm, making it essential for strength, coordination, and everyday function. Injuries, overuse, and degenerative conditions can disrupt this balance. Our elbow specialists treat a wide range of conditions, including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, ligament injuries, fractures, arthritis, tendon tears, nerve compression such as cubital tunnel syndrome, and joint instability. Each patient receives a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and develop a personalized treatment approach.
Not every elbow condition requires surgery. In many cases, conservative treatments such as activity modification, bracing, physical therapy, or guided injections can help reduce pain and improve function. These non-surgical approaches are often effective, particularly when symptoms are addressed early.
Surgical treatment may be recommended when elbow pain persists despite conservative care or when structural damage prevents the joint from functioning properly. Patients often consider surgery when pain interferes with work, athletic performance, or daily activities, or when symptoms like weakness, locking, or nerve-related numbness do not improve over time. Our orthopedic surgeons take the time to explain your condition clearly and review all appropriate options, ensuring you feel confident in your treatment plan.
Our expert orthopedic team offers advanced procedures designed to restore joint function and relieve pain. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include tendon repair, ligament reconstruction, fracture fixation, nerve decompression, or joint procedures to address arthritis or structural damage.
Whenever appropriate, our surgeons use techniques that focus on precision and tissue preservation. These approaches are intended to support healing, restore stability, and improve long-term joint function. Careful surgical planning and experienced execution help ensure treatment is tailored to each patient’s anatomy, condition, and goals.
Treatment at Orthopedic Associates is centered around the individual needs of each patient. From the initial consultation through recovery, our team provides clear guidance, education, and ongoing support. Rehabilitation often plays an important role in restoring strength, flexibility, and full elbow function. Our specialists work closely with therapists and clinical staff to help patients safely return to work, sports, and daily activities.
