Elbow pain can make simple movements frustrating. Gripping, lifting, carrying, typing, turning a doorknob, using tools, working out, playing sports, or even picking up a coffee cup may become uncomfortable when the elbow and surrounding tissues are irritated.
Some elbow problems begin after a specific injury, while others develop gradually from repetitive gripping, lifting, racquet sports, golf, manual work, weight training, or repeated wrist and forearm movements. Pain may be felt on the outside or inside of the elbow and may extend into the forearm.
At Kitsap Spine & Wellness in Silverdale, WA, we evaluate more than the painful area. Because the elbow works together with the wrist, forearm, shoulder, and neck, we look at movement, strength, mobility, activity demands, and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Depending on your evaluation, your care plan may include chiropractic care, Class IV laser therapy, exercise therapy, soft tissue work, mobility exercises, or other conservative treatments available at our office.

Elbow pain can develop from repetitive use, sports, work activities, previous injuries, or irritation of the muscles and tendons that move the wrist and forearm.
Pain on the Outside of the Elbow: Tennis elbow commonly causes pain and tenderness where the forearm tendons attach to the outside of the elbow.
You do not have to play tennis to develop it. Repetitive gripping, lifting, tool use, weight training, racquet sports, and other wrist or forearm movements can aggravate the area.
Patients with sports-related elbow pain can also learn more about our sports injury care.
Pain on the Inside of the Elbow: Golfer’s elbow typically causes pain and tenderness where the forearm tendons attach to the inside of the elbow.
Golf is only one possible cause. Repeated gripping, lifting, throwing, tool use, weight training, and manual work may also contribute.
If repetitive work is aggravating your elbow, learn more about our work injury care services.
Because elbow pain can have several causes, an evaluation can help determine which tissues and movements may be contributing to your symptoms.
Mild elbow soreness after an unusual activity may improve with time and reduced activity. An evaluation becomes more important when symptoms continue, repeatedly return, affect grip strength, or interfere with your ability to work, exercise, play sports, or complete normal daily tasks.
Consider scheduling an appointment if:
Severe pain after significant trauma, visible deformity, inability to move the elbow, rapidly increasing swelling, or significant new weakness or numbness may require more immediate medical evaluation.
At Kitsap Spine & Wellness, treatment starts with understanding how your symptoms developed and which movements are aggravating the elbow. We may also evaluate the wrist, forearm, shoulder, neck, posture, strength, and movement patterns when those areas may be affecting how the arm functions.
Your care plan may focus on:
Depending on your condition, treatment may include chiropractic care, laser therapy, exercise therapy, mobility work, soft tissue techniques, functional movement work, and activity recommendations.
Because elbow pain can sometimes occur along with broader joint or upper-extremity problems, we may also evaluate related shoulder pain or other joint pain when appropriate.
Your first visit is designed to help us understand where your elbow hurts, when symptoms began, which movements aggravate the problem, and how the pain is affecting work, exercise, sports, and everyday activity.
We may discuss:
After your evaluation, we will explain our findings and discuss whether conservative treatment at Kitsap Spine & Wellness is appropriate for your condition.
Tennis elbow typically causes pain and tenderness along the outside of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow usually affects the inside of the elbow. Both are commonly associated with repetitive stress involving the forearm muscles and tendons, and either condition can occur even if you do not play tennis or golf.
Yes. Tennis elbow can develop from many repetitive gripping and wrist activities. Tool use, lifting, computer work, weight training, racquet sports, manual labor, and other repetitive movements may place stress on the tissues along the outside of the elbow.
Yes. Jobs that involve repeated gripping, lifting, twisting, typing, carrying, tool use, or other repeated hand and forearm movements may contribute to elbow irritation. If work activities are involved, our team will consider those movements when evaluating your symptoms and planning care.
Sometimes. The elbow functions as part of the entire upper extremity, so shoulder movement, wrist mechanics, muscle compensation, or nerve irritation may influence symptoms felt around the elbow and forearm. An evaluation can help determine which areas appear to be involved.
Class IV laser therapy may be included in a conservative care plan for some patients with elbow and soft tissue irritation. Whether laser therapy is appropriate depends on your condition, health history, examination findings, and treatment goals.
Chiropractic care may be part of treatment when elbow symptoms are associated with joint mobility, upper-extremity mechanics, muscle tension, compensation, or related neck and shoulder problems. Depending on your evaluation, care may also include laser therapy, exercise therapy, soft tissue work, mobility exercises, and activity recommendations.
Consider having elbow pain evaluated if it continues, repeatedly returns, affects grip strength, limits motion, or interferes with work, exercise, sports, or normal daily activities. Severe trauma, visible deformity, major swelling, inability to move the elbow, or significant new numbness or weakness may require more immediate medical attention.
