Elbow:
Common injuries that may arise include tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, fractures, pinched nerves, trigger fingers, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and general muscle weakness. Therapists at Lepre also commonly treat patients who have undergone surgery for the above injuries as well as muscle repairs.

Treatment:
A variety of options are available for pain in the hand, wrist or elbow. Therapists will decide between ultrasound, iontophoresis, massage, laser, and paraffin wax for reducing pain and swelling. A home exercise program will be put together to work on flexibility, strength, and functional activities such as grip. Therapists at Lepre will also address home and work station modifications to prevent re-injury.
