Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What causes Elbow Pain?
Common causes include overuse, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, nerve compression, sports injuries, and acute trauma such as a fall or impact.
When should I seek medical evaluation for Elbow Pain?
Seek care if pain lasts more than a few days, limits mobility, causes weakness, or occurs after trauma. Severe swelling, numbness, or deformity require prompt evaluation.
Can Elbow Pain be evaluated at home?
Yes. Providers can assess joint movement, tenderness, nerve symptoms, and inflammatory signs during an in-home visit.
Do I need imaging for Elbow Pain?
X-rays or MRI may be recommended for suspected fractures, ligament injuries, or persistent unexplained pain.
How is Elbow Pain treated?
Treatment may include rest, ice/heat therapy, compression, anti-inflammatory medications, braces, physical therapy, or activity modification.
Is elbow tendonitis the same as tennis or golfer’s elbow?
Yes. These are forms of tendonitis caused by repetitive strain of the elbow tendons, often related to gripping or lifting.
Is my visit covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover evaluations for elbow pain. Coverage varies by plan, deductible, and visit type.
Can elbow pain be evaluated through telehealth?
Telehealth is helpful for initial assessment, medication guidance, and follow-up visits, though a physical exam may be required for accurate diagnosis.
How long does elbow pain take to heal?
Mild cases improve within days to weeks. Chronic or severe conditions may require longer treatment, therapy, or ongoing management.
Are children and athletes able to be evaluated?
Yes. Both children and adults, including athletes, can be evaluated for elbow pain related to injuries or overuse.
What if my elbow pain gets worse over time?
If symptoms worsen or new symptoms such as weakness or numbness appear, medical evaluation is recommended to prevent long-term injury.
Is elbow pain ever a sign of a serious condition?
Yes. Severe swelling, redness, fever, or inability to move the elbow may indicate infection, fracture, or serious inflammation requiring urgent care.
