Why Elbow Pain Happens

The elbow joint plays an important role in positioning the hand and transferring load between the shoulder and wrist. Because of this, it is commonly affected by repetitive strain, overload, and poor movement patterns.

Elbow pain is often linked to how the shoulder, wrist, and hand are functioning. Treating the elbow alone is rarely enough without addressing these contributing factors.

Elbow pain can be caused by:

  • Repetitive gripping or lifting

  • Sports such as tennis, golf, or weight training

  • Tendon overload or degeneration

  • Joint stiffness or irritation

  • Nerve-related symptoms

  • Previous injury or trauma
