Don’t Ignore That Elbow Pain
Whether you're an athlete, a trades person, or someone who spends long hours at a desk, elbow injuries can sneak up on you — and they can be more disruptive than you'd expect. From difficulty lifting groceries to pain while typing or gripping a pen, elbow injuries affect daily life in surprising ways.
At Vancity Physio, we specialize in diagnosing and treating elbow injuries — and getting you back to doing what you love.
Common Elbow Injuries We Treat
1. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Despite the name, you don’t have to play tennis to develop this condition. It's caused by repetitive wrist and arm movements that strain the tendons on the outside of your elbow.
Symptoms:
-
Pain on the outside of the elbow
-
Weak grip strength
-
Discomfort during daily tasks like opening jars or lifting objects
2. Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
This injury affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow and is often caused by repetitive gripping or wrist flexion.
Symptoms:
-
Pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow
-
Stiffness in the elbow
-
Tingling or numbness in the fingers
3. Elbow Bursitis, Tendon Tears, and Nerve Entrapment
We also treat a wide range of other elbow conditions, including inflammation, trauma-related injuries, and nerve compression syndromes like cubital tunnel syndrome.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Many people try to "wait out" elbow pain, hoping it will resolve on its own. But without proper diagnosis and rehab, symptoms can become chronic — and harder to treat.
Early physiotherapy can:
-
Prevent further injury
-
Improve healing time
-
Restore full strength and function
-
Avoid the need for injections or surgery
