Elbow Injuries & Conditions
Elbow pain and stiffness can make many everyday activities difficult, including lifting objects, gripping items, typing, exercising, playing sports, or even simple arm movements. The elbow joint plays an important role in arm flexibility, strength, and hand function, which means injuries or joint problems can significantly affect both work performance and daily life.
We specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of elbow injuries and conditions using advanced clinical evaluation, imaging, non-surgical treatments, physiotherapy guidance, injections, and minimally invasive procedures whenever required. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore flexibility, improve arm strength, and help patients return to normal activities comfortably and safely.
Common Elbow Conditions We Treat
Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) are common overuse injuries that affect the tendons around the elbow joint. These conditions develop due to repetitive arm and wrist movements, excessive strain, sports activities, or repetitive work-related tasks.

These conditions are commonly seen in tennis and badminton players, office workers, gym and fitness enthusiasts, manual labour workers, and individuals performing repetitive hand movements.
Treatment Options:
