Pain Management NYC

Due to the elbow’s extensive connective tissue, it may be challenging to pinpoint the exact source of your pain. It is a multidirectional joint that is complicated. You require an elbow specialist in NYC with a strong reputation who uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools and cutting-edge therapies. The experts at our Pain Management center take a comprehensive approach to find the perfect mix of treatments for your unique cause of elbow pain.

A complex joint, your elbow provides a wide range of movement, like reaching for things and bringing them closer. It also lets you rotate your hand and forearm. Because your elbow has so many moving parts, it’s not always easy to determine the exact place or cause of your pain. Rely on the pain management specialists with the most advanced diagnostic equipment at the pain center.

Causes of Elbow Pain

Many actions or conditions can contribute to your elbow discomfort. However, the most common causes include:

Joint inflammation, commonly called bursitis
Golfer’s elbow, known as medial epicondylitis, is a repetitive motion injury
An inflammatory joint disease called rheumatoid arthritis
Sprains from stretching or tearing of the ligaments
Osteoarthritis
Tendonitis
Broken bones
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, another repetitive motion injury
Injuries that result from throwing motions like baseball pitchers
Cubital tunnel syndrome, when you stretch or put too much pressure on your ulnar nerve

Depending on the condition, you can experience the following types of elbow pain:

Elbow joint pain
Elbow nerve pain
Elbow muscle pain
Elbow bone pain

Types of Elbow Pain

During your elbow pain treatment, you will undergo a thorough physical examination to determine the exact type of pain. Our doctors distinguish between various pain types, including:

Medial elbow pain. This pain occurs when the medial tendons of the elbow are exposed to internal tensile forces. It often results in overuse syndromes, such as medial epicondylar apophysitis, wrist flexor strains, and ulnar ligament sprains.
Lateral elbow pain. Lateral pain may indicate Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) or Panner’s Disease. This pain can be caused by repetitive microtrauma to the radio-capitellar joint and poor blood circulation in the capitellum.
Posterior elbow pain. Common causes of posterior pain include olecranon osteochondrosis, damage to the posterior olecranon, or olecranon bursitis. Locking the elbow in full extension and repetitive forced extension can lead to apophysitis of the elbow.

Diagnosing Your Elbow Pain

Elbow pain diagnosis depends on the onset, nature, and duration of pain and associated symptoms. Following a thorough exam, your elbow pain doctor may order lab tests by extracting blood or joint fluid to determine if there are infections or markers for a specific disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis. If crystals are found in your joint fluid, you may have issues with gout.

For diagnosis, your doctor can order imaging tests. They will assist in determining the exact cause of the problem. Fractures, bone spurs, or other abnormalities can be seen on x-rays, MRIs, or CT scans. Bone scans also help give a clearer picture of soft tissue damage, cartilage irregularities, or stress fractures.
