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. To make it easier to understand, 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 stem from a range of issues, from overuse injuries to everyday habits done with poor mechanics. Some of the most common causes include:

    • Incorrect technique during workouts

    • Sports-related strain or impact

    • Repetitive motions like typing or lifting

    • Muscle imbalances or poor posture

    • A sudden spike in activity levels

    • Age-related joint degeneration

    • Underlying conditions (e.g. tendonitis or bursitis)

  • 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:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique is a hands-on method that targets tight or damaged muscles and tendons around the elbow. It works by applying tension while moving the area through specific motions to break down scar tissue and restore movement. It’s helpful for conditions like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow

  • Close-up of acupuncture needles in a person's shoulder during treatment

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling is effective for releasing trigger points in the forearm and elbow muscles that contribute to pain or limited motion. The needle causes a local twitch response, relaxing the muscle and promoting faster recovery. It’s great for deep muscle tightness that doesn’t respond to stretching or massage alone.

  • A woman doing a kneeling exercise with assistance from a trainer in a gym setting.

    Exercise Therapy

    As pain reduces, we’ll guide you through a progressive rehab program tailored to strengthen the forearm, improve grip, and restore joint control and coordination. Whether the injury came from work, sport, or everyday use, our goal is to rebuild strength, enhance resilience, and prevent future flare-ups.

  • Man with kinesiology tape on shoulder and tattoo

    Fascial Abrasion Technique

    We may also use the Fascial Abrasion Technique to release tension and improve tissue mobility around the elbow. This technique uses a specialised tool to gently glide over the skin, helping reduce tightness, enhance blood flow, and support faster, more effective healing between sessions.
