Straightforward, evidence-based care from your local Andover chiropractor
Elbow pain can be frustratingly persistent – often affecting your grip, your ability to lift or type, and even how you sleep. Whether it’s a new issue or something that’s been hanging around for months, you don’t need to just put up with it.
At our Andover clinic, we offer clear, practical help for people dealing with elbow pain. We focus on accurate diagnosis, hands-on care where appropriate, and movement strategies to help you get back to what you need to do – without long winded jargon or unrealistic promises.
Common causes of elbow pain
Most elbow pain is related to tendons, joints, or surrounding soft tissues – often from overuse or repeated strain.
Common conditions we see include:
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow, often linked to gripping, lifting, or computer work – not just tennis!
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow, common with pulling or repetitive wrist flexion.
- Olecranon bursitis: Swelling over the tip of the elbow, usually from pressure or trauma.
- Referred pain: Sometimes elbow pain is coming from the neck or shoulder rather than the elbow itself.
Getting the right diagnosis is key – especially if symptoms have been sticking around.
Our approach to elbow pain
As chiropractors in Andover with a modern, evidence-based approach, we don’t just treat the elbow in isolation. We look at how you move, what’s driving the irritation, and how best to calm it down and rebuild tolerance.
Our approach may include:
- Detailed assessment of the elbow and surrounding areas to identify the cause.
- Manual therapy to ease stiffness or reduce muscular tension in the elbow, forearm, or shoulder.
- Load management advice – how to avoid aggravating activities without stopping everything.
- Targeted rehab exercises to strengthen tendons, restore control, and support long-term recovery.
what to expect
Most elbow pain responds well to conservative care – especially when caught early. But even stubborn cases like tennis elbow can improve with the right combination of rest, loading, and patience.
We won’t overall “quick fixes,” but we will give you practical steps to improve – and support you through setbacks if they happen.
If we feel your case needs imaging, a referral, or a second opinion, we’ll let you know and help arrange it.
