Orthopedic Causes & Treatment for Elbow Pain
Commonly referred to as "Tennis Elbow," lateral epicondylitis symptoms occur around the elbow joint and may radiate down the arm.

Elbow pain can be caused by orthopedic conditions including:
-
Arthritis-inflammation, swelling and stiffness of the joint
-
Repetitive arm movements-such as tennis or golf swings

Work-related repetitive movements-such as hammering and painting or raking
- Orthopedic sprains and strains– overuse or over-exertion causing inflammation of soft tissues
