Orthopedics Elbow
The funny bone may not seem so funny if you’ve run into problems that are causing you misery or had an accident that has put it out of commission. You may be reading this page because you’ve hit the end of the road in trying home treatment… and you don’t know if it’s time to see a specialist. It may be time to have experts in this part of your anatomy weigh in and come up with an elbow pain treatment plan of action.
Conditions That We Treat
While the list of vexing elbow problems treated by the elbow specialists and surgeons at Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center is long, below are just some of the more common elbow-related conditions that we treat.
- Sports-related Injuries – tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow
- Elbow Pain – bursitis elbow, gout in elbow, elbow pain at night, overexertion, trapped nerve, pinched nerve
- Elbow Injuries – dislocated elbow, broken elbow, elbow fracture, sprained elbow, torn ligament, stress fractures
- Elbow Arthritis – elbow osteoarthritis
- Repetitive Overuse – tendonitis, torn muscle
Fortunately, when treated with the guidance of elbow specialists, patients often get back to normal activity with conservative treatment and are provided with information on what to do to prevent recurrence of their problem, when appropriate. Sometimes more advanced elbow pain procedures are needed to resolve the problem and return patients to a good quality of life

The important thing to bear in mind is that seeking professional medical help from an elbow specialist earlier rather than later can pay significant dividends for you as a patient. A few of those dividends include improved recovery time, training in preventive measures and spotting ancillary issues. If you’ve had an accident or injury involving your elbow, or elbow pain that isn’t responding to at-home treatment, we encourage you to make an appointment today.
