Elbow Pain Treatment

What is an Elbow pain?

The elbow is a hinge joint where three long bones join in the middle portion of the arm. The upper arm bone (humerus) meets the forearm inner bone (ulna) and the forearm outer bone (radius). The Forearm can do rotations with the help of radius and ulna. Elbow plays a vital role in moving the arms forward and backward as well as twisting and rotating.

Epicondyle is the outer bone of elbow and it is also a part of the humerus bone. Tendinitis or tennis elbow is caused due to the injuries in tendons of the epicondyle. Bursa is a fluid filled sac which reduces bones friction which overlies on the elbow tip.

What are its functions? 

The elbow functions to move the arm like a hinge (forward and backward) and in rotation (twisting outward and inward). The biceps muscle is the major muscle that flexes the elbow hinge. The triceps muscle is the major muscle that extends the elbow hinge. The outer bone of the elbow is referred to as the lateral epicondyle and is a part of the humerus bone. Tendons are attached to this area and can be injured, causing inflammation or tendinitis (lateral epicondylitis, or "tennis elbow").
