Elbow pain can make even simple tasks—like lifting, gripping, or typing—uncomfortable. Some people feel sharp pain on the outside or inside of the elbow, while others experience stiffness, weakness, or aching that won’t go away. Left untreated, elbow pain can limit your ability to work, exercise, or enjoy your favorite hobbies.
​
At Move Chiropractic in Angier, Dr. David Carter helps patients find natural relief from elbow pain. By addressing the root cause, we can reduce discomfort, restore strength, and improve mobility.
​
Common Causes of Elbow Pain
​
-
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
-
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
-
Overuse or repetitive strain injuries
-
Misalignments in the arm, shoulder, or spine
-
Arthritis or joint degeneration
-
Sports or work-related injuries
Because the elbow is connected to both the wrist and shoulder, problems in one area can often affect the others. That’s why a careful evaluation is important for lasting relief.
