- Occupational and physical therapy
- Pain management and joint injections
- Reconstructive hand surgery

Specialty care for overuse injuries
Overuse injuries that cause elbow pain, stiffness and movement limitations are often from repetitive movements. Our sports medicine doctors and orthopedic surgeons treat overuse injuries such as tendonitis or tennis elbow. Sports like tennis, golf and baseball involve arm movements that can wear on the tendons in your elbow. The same can happen at work. Jobs such as plumbing, painting, carpentry, and mechanics often involve repetitive movements. Orthopedic care teams also provide care for many other conditions, including osteoarthritis, bone fractures and arm weakness.
When you have an overuse injury, talk with an orthopedic specialist. We can discuss therapeutic and surgical treatment options, including:
- Arthroscopic surgery and joint repair
- Medication therapy
- Non-surgical injections
- Orthopedic surgery to repair bone fractures in the arm
- Physical therapy for orthopedic rehabilitation and recovery care
