Elbow Pain
Posted in Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions Physiotherapy
Elbow is a hinge joint that connects your forearm bones (radius and ulna) to your humerus (upper arm bone). Like all joints, it is stabilised and mobilised by a system of tough fibrous ligaments and stretchy tendons. Other soft tissues and layers of cartilage provide cushioning and enable smooth movement. Nerves pass around the elbow, and are particularly exposed on the point of your elbow (your ‘funny bone’).
Many common elbow conditions are mainly caused by wear and tear, but can also be caused by traumatic injuries such as a fall, high impact or wrenching movement.
