Common elbow treatments and symptoms
Treatments
The elbow brings together three bones. Known as a hinge joint, the elbow’s ligaments and tendons help connect our upper arm to our forearm. We can bend and straighten our arm up to 180 degrees and lift and move things through our elbow.
We treat several elbow related injuries, often caused by overuse at work or from sports-related accidents. Some of the more commons injuries include:
