Elbow pain can be a difficult and frustrating condition to deal with, but fortunately, there are many treatments available. A few of the more common elbow pain treatments Herndon includes rest, physical therapy, medications, and even surgery.
Rest is often recommended as it helps the body heal itself naturally over time with proper rest, ice and heat applications, and elevation of the arm above the heart. Physical therapy can help reinforce proper joint mechanics and reduce pain by increasing flexibility and strength in the affected area.
Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections can be prescribed by doctors to reduce inflammation in the elbow joint. Surgery may also be an option for more severe cases that don't respond well to other treatments.
In addition to these standard treatments, laser therapy has also emerged as a viable option for treating elbow pain. Laser therapy works by emitting a beam of light at specific wavelengths that help improve tissue healing, decrease inflammation, and reduce swelling associated with elbow pain. Benefits have included reduced pain intensity and improved range of motion in some patients after just one treatment session.
