When you’re dealing with any kind of pain, even the simplest of tasks are difficult. As the new year approaches, it’s time to stop worrying about making New Year’s resolutions that don’t stick. Instead, come see us at Chattanooga Non-surgical Orthopedics and eliminate the pain you’ve been dealing with for so long.

For some of us, the pain we tend to ignore is the pain that nags but does not stop us from doing most normal activities. The problem with that line of thinking is that any joint pain, not dealt with at the source, will only get worse over time until it becomes unbearable.

Consider elbow pain for instance. When your elbow begins to cause you trouble, because you use your arms all day, every day for a variety of activities, we tend to dismiss it as “Oh it’s just my my older age…” or “… It’s just the change in the weather.”. But how do you know if the elbow pain is something to really worry about?

Causes of elbow pain

Your elbow is the joint that’s between your humerus, or upper arm bone, and your radius and ulna, or your lower arm bones. Elbow pain can stem from many different issues involving your joint, tendons, ligaments, and bones. The soft tissues inside your elbow are prone to injury due to overuse. 

Elbow pain is usually one of the signs that there’s a problem; however, you may experience other symptoms, such as:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Trouble bending your arm
• Trouble straightening your arm
• Problems with lifting objects
• Trouble grasping things

When to seek treatment

When your elbow is bothering you, the first thought on your mind is how you can relieve the pain- especially as it progresses. The good news is there are a lot of treatments available at Chattanooga Non-surgical Orthopedics to calm the pain and get your arms back to normal.

These treatments will help with the swelling and inflammation that can lead to pain in your arm. 

Our team offers a form of treatment known as regenerative medicine. This includes non-invasive injections of all-natural cytokines, Wharton’s jelly, and mesenchymal cells that help promote healing within your joints naturally. Dr. Hall may also recommend exercise therapy to excelerate and maintain your healing process. This can help regenerate tissues to give you back function of your joint.
