Common Elbow Conditions
Here are some elbow conditions that Dr. Hunter, Dr. Pharr, Dr. Adams, and Dr. Loftis treat.
Elbow osteoarthritis
Elbow osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the cartilage within the elbow joint gradually breaks down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. As the cartilage wears away over time, people with elbow osteoarthritis may experience discomfort during movement and may find daily activities challenging.
Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis elbow)
Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a condition where the outside of the elbow becomes inflamed, causing pain and tenderness. It's most common among people who perform repetitive movements with their arm muscles, such as playing tennis. However, despite its name, tennis and other racquet sports aren't the only risk factors for this condition! People who perform jobs involving gripping, lifting, and even prolonged computer use may develop tennis elbow. At TOA Columbia, our treatments focus on alleviating symptoms of tennis elbow and restoring function, getting you back on the court.
Olecranon bursitis
Olecranon bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac located at the tip of the elbow. It often involves swelling and redness, leading to pain. This condition often results from excessive pressure or trauma to the elbow, leading to discomfort and limited mobility. Our targeted interventions aim to relieve discomfort, reduce inflammation, and prevent recurrent episodes, ensuring optimal elbow health.
Cubital tunnel syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome involves compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. This condition can occur due to prolonged pressure on the elbow or repetitive bending motions such as when using a tennis racket. Our specialized care for cubital tunnel syndrome focuses on relieving nerve pressure, improving symptoms, and preserving the function of the affected arm.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the joints, including the elbow, causing joint pain, swelling, and joint deformity. This chronic condition may impact daily activities and overall joint function, and our mission is to reduce pain wherever possible to allow people to live full lives. Our comprehensive approach to rheumatoid arthritis involves personalized strategies to manage inflammation, preserve joint function, and enhance the overall quality of life.
Bicep tendon rupture/laceration
Bicep tendon rupture or laceration refers to the tearing or separation of the biceps tendon from the elbow. This injury can result from sudden trauma or overuse, leading to arm pain, swelling, and potential limitations in arm movement. Our expert care for this condition of the elbow tendons focuses on assessing the extent of the injury, providing surgical or non-surgical interventions, and guiding patients through a tailored rehabilitation process for optimal recovery and function.
