Shooting Pain When You Grip or Lift? Tenderness Along the Forearm? Elbow Tightness That Won’t Go Away? We Can Help.
At Metro Wellness, we help patients recover from elbow pain, stiffness, and tendon irritation using a holistic, non-invasive approach. Whether your pain started from typing, lifting, sports, or overuse, we focus on the root cause—not just the symptoms.
Our licensed chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists use a personalized, hands-on method to reduce pain and restore function. We combine chiropractic care, physical therapy, medical massage (by PTs), cupping, kinesiotaping, acupuncture, and muscle scraping (IASTM) to promote healing and get you moving again—without injections or surgery.
Top 9 Elbow Conditions We Treat
1. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Feels like: sharp, burning pain on the outside of the elbow when gripping, lifting, or twisting
Caused by: overuse of the forearm extensors—common in typing, racquet sports, and manual work
2. Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Feels like: aching or sharp pain on the inside of the elbow, worsened by flexing the wrist or lifting
Caused by: overuse of forearm flexor muscles, not just from golf but from lifting or typing too
3. Elbow Tendinitis / Tendinosis
Feels like: persistent soreness, stiffness, or weakness around the elbow
Caused by: repetitive strain and microtears in the tendon—common in both athletes and desk workers
4. Elbow Bursitis (Olecranon Bursitis)
Feels like: swelling, warmth, or tenderness at the back of the elbow
Caused by: trauma, pressure (like leaning on the elbow), or inflammation in the bursa
5. Ulnar Nerve Entrapment (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)
Feels like: numbness or tingling in the ring and pinky fingers, especially when bending the elbow
Caused by: nerve compression near the "funny bone" area—aggravated by repetitive elbow bending or leaning
6. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Feels like: deep, aching pain or fatigue in the elbow and forearm with daily activities
Caused by: prolonged, repeated use of the arm without proper recovery—common in office workers and active adults
7. Elbow Joint Stiffness or Post-Injury Pain
Feels like: reduced range of motion or dull pain after healing from a fall or sprain
Caused by: scar tissue, joint restriction, or lack of proper rehab after an injury
8. Triceps or Biceps Tendon Strain
Feels like: pain when straightening (triceps) or bending (biceps) the elbow
Caused by: overuse, heavy lifting, or sudden strain during pulling or pushing activities
9. Referral Pain from Neck or Shoulder

Caused by: nerve irritation or muscle tension in the neck/shoulder referring pain into the elbow
