Physical therapy for tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and elbow injuries in Burlington, NC
Elbow pain usually shows up during the things you do most — gripping, lifting, typing, swinging a club or racket. Because the elbow sits between the shoulder and wrist, lasting relief often requires looking above and below the joint itself. We treat the irritated tissue and address the strength and mobility deficits that caused it to become overloaded in the first place.
Common conditions we treat
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia)
- Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylalgia)
- Biceps and triceps tendinopathy
- Cubital tunnel syndrome and nerve irritation at the elbow
- Elbow stiffness after fracture, dislocation, or surgery
- Grip weakness and pain with lifting or training
How we help
- A thorough one-hour evaluation to find the true source of your pain — not just where it hurts
- Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and soft-tissue work to reduce pain and restore motion
- Individualized strength and mobility programming you can do at home or in the gym (delivered through the Physitrack app)
- Education on posture, movement habits, and activity modification so you stay better once you are better
- Clear return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-golf progressions
What to expect
Your evaluation includes the elbow, wrist, shoulder, and neck along with grip strength and the specific tasks that provoke your pain. Treatment typically combines hands-on techniques such as dry needling and soft-tissue work with a progressive loading program — the most effective long-term approach for tendon pain.
