Elbow

Overuse of the elbow during ball sports such as tennis or golf can lead to painful inflammations known as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. These conditions are common among athletes or individuals who perform repetitive motions that strain the tendons and muscles surrounding the elbow.

Common Symptoms:

• Pain around the elbow joint, especially when moving the arm.
• Weakness in hand strength.
• Difficulty performing daily activities requiring arm use.

Diagnosis and Treatment at RadCare:

At RadCare, we rely on advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify the cause of pain, including:

• X-Ray: To evaluate the bones and rule out other issues.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): To assess the extent of damage to tissues and tendons around the elbow.
• Ultrasound: To evaluate inflammation and swelling in soft tissues.

Treatment Plan:

• Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve muscle flexibility and strength.
• Medication: Use of anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
• Medical Intervention: In severe cases, treatment may involve injections or surgical procedures.

At RadCare, we are committed to providing specialized and comprehensive care to ensure accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan that helps patients regain their ability to perform daily activities pain-free.
