Elbow
Elbow injuries can have long lasting complications (primarily loss of motion) if not managed appropriately. Fractures and tendon ruptures need to be evaluated promptly and surgical intervention should be timely as well. In regard to the treatment of chronic issues like tennis elbow and bursitis, we have a variety of non-surgical treatments as well. If you are experiencing elbow pain, a consultation with one of our physicians at LBJO would be a wise decision!
