Our Elbow Services
The elbow is one of the body’s most vital and frequently used joints, serving as a hinge to move the hands toward and away from the face. At OrthoCare360, our specialists provide comprehensive care for a wide range of elbow injuries and conditions, helping patients restore function, reduce pain, and achieve optimal outcomes.
We treat common elbow issues such as tendonitis, fractures, dislocations, infections, and arthritis. Additionally, we manage more complex cases, including sports injuries, workplace accidents, and complications arising from medical conditions like osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Our experienced providers specialize in accurately diagnosing elbow injuries, conditions, and degenerative disease-related complications.
Comprehensive Elbow Care in Boise
We offer advanced non surgical treatments for all types of elbow injuries, from traumatic fractures and tendon tears to chronic conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis. Patients receive the highest level of care tailored to their needs.
While minor elbow pain or discomfort from overuse may resolve with rest and self-care, certain symptoms warrant medical evaluation. Seek professional attention if you experience severe pain, noticeable swelling, an inability to move the elbow or arm, visible deformities, or persistent pain lasting more than a few days.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury. For mild conditions, rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications are often effective. Physical therapy and bracing may help with recovery and prevent future injuries. Severe cases, such as fractures, ligament tears, or chronic conditions like arthritis, may require more advanced treatments, including injections.
Elbow Injury Causes
Repetitive Elbow Injuries
Elbow pain and reduced mobility can arise from various causes, with tendinitis being one of the most common. Tendinitis involves inflammation or injury to the tendons that attach to the bones at the elbow and is often associated with sports activities, particularly in golfers and tennis players.
Repetitive and strenuous activities that strain the elbow can also lead to tendinitis. Other common causes of elbow injuries include strains, sprains, and dislocations. Chronic conditions such as arthritis and bursitis are frequent contributors to persistent elbow pain and decreased range of motion.
