The basics
Understanding elbow pain
The elbow is a hinge joint where three bones meet, held together by tendons, ligaments, and the muscles that run down from the upper arm and forearm. Because so much of what we do with our hands loads the elbow, it is one of the most overused joints in the body — and a frequent site of pain, swelling, and stiffness for athletes, desk workers, and manual laborers alike.
Most elbow pain is a soft-tissue problem. Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are overuse injuries of the tendons on the outside and inside of the joint, while other cases stem from bursitis, arthritis, or a prior sprain or strain. Not every ache in the elbow starts there, either — nerve irritation in the neck or shoulder can radiate down the arm and be felt as elbow pain, which is why a full exam matters.
Chiropractic care in Charlotte typically addresses elbow pain by restoring proper joint alignment and motion, calming inflammation in the surrounding tendons with soft-tissue therapy, and using targeted stretches and exercise to rebuild strength and prevent the injury from returning. It is a drug-free, non-surgical approach aimed at the cause of the pain, not just the symptom.

Common Causes for Elbow Pain
The elbow is one of the more frequently used joints in your body. It’s very common to feel aches and pains in this area, especially if you experience even the slightest injury. Here are some common reasons you might feel pain in your elbow:
- Overuse
This is very common for people who perform repetitive tasks. Tennis players (Tennis Elbow), golfers (Golf Elbow), desk workers, factory workers, etc. that do the same motion over and over with their elbow can experience pain, stiffness, and soreness in their elbow.
- Injuries
Any time there is an impact on your elbows, such as a fall, car accident, or contact sport, you can injure the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bones in this area. The pain can be immediate, or it can appear later down the road and linger for long periods of time.
- Arthritis
This is a condition that affects the joints, causing them to become inflamed and stiff. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and it can occur in any joint in your body, including your elbow.
Symptoms of elbow pain include:
- Aching, stiffness, and soreness in the elbow
- Pain that radiates down your arm
- Difficulty moving your elbow
- Swelling and inflammation in the elbow
How do Chiropractors Treat Elbow Pain?
First, we’ll work on finding the underlying cause of the pain in your elbow. We’ll want to pinpoint what is actually causing the pain in the first place, so we can make sure our treatment plans are tackling the problem head-on.
In most instances, your elbow pain can be treated by using our gentle adjustment techniques. This is where we will make small gentle adjustments to your joints and alignment. This helps make sure the infrastructure to your joints, ligaments, and muscles are exactly where they are supposed to be. Usually, we see good results with this type of treatment and you can experience pain relief relatively quickly.
Once you’re back in alignment, your body can naturally start the healing process.
There are also a few other things we might recommend to help with your elbow pain. We might suggest you use ice or heat therapy, depending on the source of your pain. You might also need to start doing some exercises and stretches to help improve the range of motion in your elbow and keep the muscles around it strong and flexible.
The best part is that Chiropractic care is an all-natural way to treat pain and discomfort in your elbow. No invasive surgeries, no addictive medications. We focus on providing you with the best natural way to resolve the pain in your elbow so you can get back to feeling great again.
