What Causes Elbow Pain?

Our elbows endure a lot of wear and tear from various daily activities, sports, and occupations. Repetitive motions can lead to overuse injuries like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow (you don't have to be a tennis player or golfer to be afflicted by either). There are also common trauma-related injuries like bursitis or hyperextension and chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or cubital tunnel syndrome that can cause pain and limit movement over time.

Elbow Conditions

When Should You See a Doctor For Elbow Pain?

Elbow pain can be a cause for concern due to the elbow's role in many activities. Pain severity can vary greatly depending on the patient, but any persistent discomfort deserves medical attention.

Common signs to seek professional help include:

  • Constant pain: Pain that lasts weeks despite rest and over-the-counter pain medication.

  • Swelling: Noticeable swelling around the elbow joint.

  • Reduced mobility: Difficulty bending or straightening your arm.

  • Numbness or tingling: Numbness or tingling sensations in your arm or hand.

If you experience these symptoms, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with our elbow specialists in Atlanta.

How We Diagnose Your Elbow Pain

How We Diagnose Your Elbow Pain

The elbow is a complex mechanism that's at risk of developing a wide variety of conditions. For that reason, we place a high priority on properly diagnosing your specific condition before starting treatment.

Correctly diagnosing the cause of your elbow condition is vital for proper treatment. Our physicians and doctors use top-of-the-line radiography equipment to provide diagnostics and imaging. These include CT scans, EMG, MRI scans, and nerve conduction studies.

Certified technologists operate our equipment. These professionals receive extensive vetting - and recurring training - on the latest imaging techniques and procedures. You may also need to receive electrodiagnostic screening to determine your condition.

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Elbow Doctors

I am so saddened by this news and always enjoyed working with Dr. C, a sentiment obviously shared by so many. My heart and thoughts go out to Resurgens and Dr. C's family during this difficult time.

If you are looking for the best Orthopedic Surgeon for knee or hip replacement Dr. Kim is the one! Dr. Kim replaced both of my knees, 7 years and 8 months ago and was fantastic. I had complete trust in his abilities and excellent care from him as well as Andrea and Josh. Having a good Physical Therapist is also key to and excellent recovery. All the Physical Therapist I talk to highly recommend Dr. Kim and that speaks volumes as well as a highly respected reputation!

Dr. Widener exceeded my expectations! I have a horrible phobia of needles but he was very kind and gentle. Exceptional bedside manor and very knowledgeable! I’m very pleased to find a good surgeon who could identify the problem and fix it. He’s an incredibly competent Surgeon and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone of all ages! He has an excellent reputation built up in our community for good reason.

I saw the Middlebrooks Team about my back and was pleased with their courtesy and the knowledge they shared concerning the pain I was experiencing. I have since gone to therapy and my back no longer hurts. Thank you for your help!

It is my pleasure to give the highest recommendation for Dr. Blanchard! The five stars in each category only tell part of the story; he is also a most caring doctor, even visiting me in the hospital over the weekend . Of course, the ultimate recommendation is for Dr. Blanchard's excellent work! My lumbar fusion eliminated decades of debilitating back pain. I trust him completely for any future spine issues. His resource manager is also wonderful at coordinating and explaining information.

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Marly N. Dows-Martinez, M.D. for her technical expertise and compassionate patient care. As a former military pilot, I developed lower back pain and radiating pain that she correctly identified as Sciatica. She took the time to listen and evaluate my symptoms, then methodically progressed through the levels or remediation. As a result of her actions, the excruciating radiating pain down my thigh and legs have gone from a 10 plus to a 1-2 level. Well done and thank you so much.

Dr. Joseph has provided outstanding support to me for almost five years now...Unfortunately I've experienced some medical issues in recent years which has required numerous physicians and surgeons and all Dr's are not the same. I have so much respect for him. He's truly a professional and expert in his field. Dr. Joseph show's compassion and cares about his patients. He and his staff (Jennifer and Angie) are the best in the business trust me!

Daftari performed 2 back surgeries for me. First he went through my stomach to straighten my spine and then the next week through my back to replace L4-S1 vertebrae’s and put all my hardware in. After 3 years of not being able to walk and being in the bed he saved my life! He checked on me so much in the hospital and he was so excited it was so successful. I had a high rate of being paralyzed if I did not get this surgery when I did. I wish I could somehow repay him for saving me!

I have used Dr. Miller twice in the past, and since he has a reputation as the best shoulder surgeon in North Atlanta, I scheduled my reverse shoulder replacement surgery with him. He has assembled a great team of specialists. I found them to be experienced, friendly, caring and very helpful. His PA, Pete, has been his side-kick for many years and his experience was obvious. My shoulder is now pain free. Would I do it again? My answer is yes.

Dr. Dows-Martinez is 5 Stars all the way. She diagnosed my Sciatica, and first and foremost, was alleviating the pain and moving forward with treatment. She explained in detail; in a way I could understand, while showing me a model of a spine. We discussed and agreed upon a treatment plan; as well as expectations and scheduled an Epidural for the next day; which again; she explained – procedure, expectations, and outcomes in detail. Her staff member Angie immediately scheduled the procedure and gave me all the information and details to prepare for it. No detail left out, and made me feel comfortable preparing for the procedure. Every one of her team members were attentive to my medical needs and are all very friendly which really helped put me at ease. The day of the procedure Dr. Dows-Martinez made it very clear that her #1 concern was to keep me pain free, and that she did! …completing the procedure and no pain. Post Op follow-up by Dr. Dows-Martinez and her team, another 5 Stars. Her personal call was specific to my medical needs and her reach-out of personal care and interest was so genuinely felt. Thank you Dr. Dows-Martinez and team!!!
