What to Expect at Mile High Spine & Sport

- Movement assessment: We check the elbow, wrist, shoulder, and neck to see where stress may be coming from.
- Hands-on care: Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and joint mobility techniques when appropriate.
- Practical guidance: We may suggest stretches, activity changes, or simple home strategies to help calm irritated tissue.
- Return-to-activity support: Whether you want to get back to lifting, golf, tennis, or work tasks, we focus on helping you move with less strain.

FAQs
What are the most common causes of elbow pain?
Elbow pain is often linked to tendon irritation, overuse, repetitive gripping, lifting, sports activity, or joint stiffness. It can also be related to the wrist, shoulder, or neck, which is why a full movement check matters.
Can a chiropractor help with elbow pain?
Yes, chiropractic care may help when elbow pain is connected to joint restriction, muscle tightness, movement compensation, or irritation from repeated strain. Your care plan may include adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and movement-based recommendations.
How do I know if my elbow pain is from tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow?
Tennis elbow usually causes pain on the outside of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow often affects the inside. That said, symptoms can overlap, so it is best to have it assessed instead of guessing based on location alone.
When should I get my elbow pain checked out?
If the pain lasts more than a few days, keeps returning, gets worse with regular activity, or makes it hard to grip or lift, it is a good idea to get evaluated. Earlier care can often make recovery easier.
What should I do before my visit for elbow pain?
Try to note when the pain started, what movements trigger it, and whether you have had any recent sports, lifting, or repetitive work changes. If you have tried anything that helped or made it worse, bring that information too.
