Osteopath for Elbow Pain in Suffolk

Elbow pain is often described as ‘tennis elbow’ or ‘golfer’s elbow’ but this condition doesn’t only affect those with a sports injury.

Tennis elbow affects the tendons on the outside of your elbow, and golfers elbow affects the tendons on the inside of your elbow. Osteopathy can help reduce the inflammation of tendons attaching to the elbow - reducing pain and increasing the range of motion in the joint. Elbow pain can be caused by repetitive overuse of the elbow, or a strain, repetitive forceful movements of the elbow, heavy lifting or tennis or golf (or another sport requiring repetitive/forceful motion).

Common symptoms of elbow pain are:

• Pain located in your elbow that might also spread down into your forearm

• A feeling of weakness in your hand and wrist

• A tingling sensation going into your hands

• Pain when trying to grip or twist, (for example, when opening a jar)
