Elbow Orthopedic Care

A sudden twinge with your tennis swing or an ache as you open the door might be the first sign that your elbow is injured. Sometimes a little rest is all you need. But if your elbow continues to feel stiff, swollen, and sore, the specialists at AdventHealth will find out why, using the most-advanced imaging techniques, including:

• Bone Scans
• CT Scans
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs)
• X-Rays

The first step toward wellness is finding the root of the problem. We’ll work with you to make sure you’re fully informed and comfortable while we give you an accurate elbow pain diagnosis and set you down the path toward healing with our advanced orthopedic elbow treatments.

When you’re living a full and active life, sometimes your muscles and ligaments just need a little TLC. It’s also possible that your elbow pain was caused by a recent fall or blow, or is a symptom of another condition. Whatever the cause, the orthopedic specialists at AdventHealth will take the time to understand your lifestyle and how you’re feeling, helping us provide caring emotional support along with a more accurate elbow pain diagnosis.

Even simple tasks can become difficult and uncomfortable when your elbow joint is painful, stiff, or inflamed. Your care team will figure out why your elbow is sore so we can focus on making it feel better. Some common causes of elbow pain include:

• Arthritis
• Bursitis
• Dislocations (Humeroulnar, Humeroradial, or Proximal Radioulnar)
• Fractures (Humerus, Radius, or Ulna)
• Osteochondritis Dissecans
• Sprains
• Tendonitis, Including Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) and Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Whether you need tennis elbow treatments or care for an injury like a fracture or dislocation, you’ll find a skilled team of elbow orthopedists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists to support you along your path to wellness and answer all your questions.
