Elbow Pain
How is the elbow designed and what is its function?The elbow is the joint where three long bones meet in the middle portion of the arm to form a hinge joint. The radial and ulna bones also meet in the elbow to allow for rotation of the forearm. The biceps muscle is the major muscle that flexes the elbow hinge. The triceps muscle is the major muscle that extends the elbow hinge. Tendons are attached to the bones which can be injured, causing inflammation or tendinitis (Tennis / Golfers elbow). A fluid-filled sac, which serves to reduce friction, overlies the tip of the elbow.At the Wolff Clinic we frequently treat elbow conditions such asTennis ElbowGolfers ElbowJoint misalignmentTendinitisRepetitive Strain InjuryAches and pains from ArthritisNerve IrritationSports Injuries (click here)Work related injuries (i.e. lifitng etc.)TreatmentAt the Wolff Clinic, we have the tools to easily diagnose and treat injuries to the elbow, incorporating both neurological and mechanical treatments. Mechanoreceptors (sensors for movement) are embedded in the tissue surrounding joints. When these tissues get stretched by a misallignment of a joint (ie; from a fall etc.) this activates an inhibition or weakening of the adjacent muscle. Other muscles around the joint will have to compensate, which can cause aches and pains. Discovery of these weak muscles and correction of the misalligned joint to restore normal strength, is a speciality of the Wolff Clinic practitioners.Treatments are gentle, safe, natural, non invasive and highly effective. Also, the treatments are designed to correct the root cause of your problem and not simply cover up the symptoms you experience.
