Elbow & Arm Pain Relief in Bondi Junction
Relief with Chiropractic Care
Overuse, sporting injuries and other forms of trauma can cause pain in the elbow and arm. The health of these structures, which involve bone, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and tendons, can be evaluated at Health Odyssey Chiropractic. Often, those with pain in the arm or elbow can have conditions such as posterior impingement syndrome, osteochondritis and little league elbow.
- Posterior Impingement Syndrome: A repetitive extension of the elbow causes compression which leads to bony outgrowths and inflammation. This syndrome is characterised by sharp posterior elbow pain, particularly when the elbow is extended quickly. Popping and clicking sounds may be associated as well as locking of the elbow.
- Osteochondritis (Capitellum): A degeneration from lack of blood supply (avascular necrosis) in the bone from trauma and other mechanisms causes osteochondritis. It generally occurs in young males who experience lateral elbow pain and stiffness, possibly with clicking sounds.
- Little League Elbow: A chronic overload can stretch the elbow’s inside structures and compress the structures on the outside. It’s caused by repetitive throwing actions and results in pain on in the inside and outside of the elbow.
