What causes elbow pain?
Elbow pain is a common problem that can come on suddenly or build up over time, usually from repetitive use, poor movement patterns, strain, or conditions like tendonitis or bursitis. We’ve broken it down into key causes
-
Sharp or aching pain with movement
Stiffness or reduced flexibility
Swelling or soreness around the joint
Popping, clicking, or grinding sensations
-
Elbow pain can develop from a range of causes—whether it’s overuse, poor technique, or underlying conditions. Common contributors include:
Repetitive strain from work, sport, or lifting
Overuse of forearm muscles
Poor lifting, gripping, or workout technique
Muscle imbalances or weak stabilisers
Nerve compression or irritation
Tendonitis, bursitis, or joint degeneration
Sudden increase in activity
Previous injury or trauma
-
We treat a wide range of elbow issues, from everyday strain to ongoing or complex conditions. Here are some of the most common elbow problems we see:
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) – pain on the outside of the elbow from repetitive gripping or lifting
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) – pain on the inside of the elbow caused by overuse or poor technique
Elbow bursitis – swollen bursa sacs that lead to pain, swelling, and restricted movement
Elbow tendonitis – inflammation from repetitive strain, especially during work or sport
Nerve compression (e.g. cubital tunnel syndrome) – tingling, numbness, or weakness from trapped nerves
Ligament sprains or tears – often from trauma or heavy lifting, causing instability and pain
Arthritis – wear and tear that limits joint mobility and leads to ongoing discomfort
Whether it’s chronic elbow pain, reduced flexibility, or weakness holding you back, our expert physios can build a tailored plan to restore strength, function, and comfort.

How do we treat
Elbow pain?
Chiropractic or physiotherapy for elbow pain starts with a detailed assessment to find the underlying cause—whether it’s due to poor movement patterns, joint restriction, or muscle overuse. From there, we develop a personalised plan to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent it from coming back. Common treatments include:
-
Hands-On Release
We use manual therapies to release tight muscles and restore mobility in the forearm and elbow. This includes soft tissue work, Active Release Technique (ART), and Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT) to break down scar tissue, reduce tension, and improve flexibility—ideal for conditions like tennis or golfer’s elbow.
-
Dry Needling
We use dry needling to release deep muscle tension in the forearm and elbow. It helps reduce pain, relax overactive muscles, and promote faster recovery—especially for tight spots that don’t respond to stretching or massage alone.
-
Joint & Nerve Function
To improve mobility and address nerve-related pain, we assess your biomechanics and apply joint manipulation techniques. This helps correct movement imbalances, reduce irritation, and restore normal function in the elbow and surrounding joints.
-
Strength & Recovery
We guide you through a personalised exercise program designed to rebuild strength, improve grip and coordination, and prevent future flare-ups. This includes targeted rehab exercises that support long-term results and help you get back to work, sport, or everyday life pain-free.
