07.01.2022 - Does elbow pain come from the elbow? As the previous post suggested tennis elbow and golfers elbow is caused by an overuse... over the extensor and flexor tendons, respectively. Elbow pain may also be caused by other structures in the elbow and further investigation may be required. Does elbow pain come from the neck? There is a significant amount of elbow pain that is referred from the neck! It can be found that commonly cervical joint C5 C6 can refer pain to the elbow via the radial nerve down the arm. Treatment can be directed at the neck to therefore assist with elbow pain. It is recommended that if you have elbow pain that you seek attention and treatment from a professional medical practitioner #SwitchHealth #SwitchFam #SwitchMovement #AgedCare #physiotherapy #podiatry #exercise #movement #motionislotion #tenniselbow #golferselbow #elbow #pain #painmanagement #tendons #muscles #rolling #spikeyball #strength #balance #stability #maroubra See more
