Elbow pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who experiences discomfort during everyday activities, elbow pain can significantly impact your quality of life. At Radiant Physical Therapy in San Jose, we specialize in diagnosing and treating elbow pain to help you get back to doing what you love.

Common Types of Elbow Pain
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, often caused by repetitive wrist and arm motions.
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the elbow, typically resulting from repetitive stress or overuse.
- Elbow Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs) that cushion the elbow joint, often due to repetitive motions or prolonged pressure on the elbow.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel on the inner side of the elbow, leading to pain and numbness.
- Elbow Fractures: Breaks in the bones of the elbow joint, often due to trauma or falls.
- Ligament Sprains: Overstretching or tearing of the ligaments around the elbow, commonly caused by sports injuries or accidents.
Symptoms of Elbow Pain

- Stiffness and limited range of motion in the elbow.
- Swelling and tenderness around the elbow region.
- Tingling or numbness in the fingers, particularly the ring and little fingers.
