Along with the shoulder, the elbow is the most mobile joint of the human body. It is a complex system that consists of muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments, and each of them needs to be in good condition for adequate functionality of the elbow. If any of these elements get damaged, the pain begins to build up.

In general, the pain is caused by the overuse of the elbow, with tennis elbow being the most familiar term for this kind of issue. Other causes include fractures, dislocations, sprains, nerve compressions, bursitis, and arthritis, and they all require adequate treatment.

Physical therapy is, by all means, the most successful way of treating elbow pain. It offers several different approaches, all very efficient when it comes to elbow related issues. For example, paraffin, ultrasound, light therapy, and electric stimulation are parts of physiotherapy modalities that have shown excellent results. When it comes to injury treatment, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy provides a fantastic recovery boost. Finally, elbow pain can be a referred pain stemming from a spinal issue, and spinal adjustment is a therapy that could successfully address it.
