Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What are common Elbow Problems?

Common elbow issues include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, sprains, strains, nerve compression, fractures, and repetitive strain injuries such as tennis or golfer’s elbow.

What symptoms indicate that I need medical evaluation?

Persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, numbness, weakness, decreased mobility, or symptoms resulting from a fall or injury should be evaluated promptly.

Can Elbow Problems be assessed at home?

Yes. Providers can evaluate pain, swelling, flexibility, strength, and nerve symptoms during an in-home visit and offer immediate treatment guidance.

Do I need imaging for Elbow Problems?

X-rays or MRI may be recommended if a fracture, ligament tear, nerve compression, or unexplained persistent pain is suspected.

How are Elbow Problems treated?

Treatment may include rest, ice/heat therapy, compression, anti-inflammatory medications, splints or braces, physical therapy, and activity modification.

What causes elbow tendonitis?

Tendonitis is often caused by repetitive strain, excessive gripping, lifting, or repetitive arm motions common in sports or occupational tasks.

Is elbow swelling serious?

Swelling can result from bursitis, infection, injury, or arthritis. Severe swelling or swelling accompanied by fever or redness requires urgent evaluation.

Is my evaluation covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover elbow evaluations. Coverage varies by plan, deductible, and visit type.

Can elbow issues be evaluated through telehealth?

Telehealth is useful for initial assessment, pain management, and follow-ups, though hands-on physical examination may be required for diagnosis.

What if my elbow pain worsens?

If pain increases, mobility decreases, or new symptoms such as numbness or weakness develop, you should seek a follow-up evaluation as soon as possible.

Are children and athletes evaluated for Elbow Problems?

Yes. Both children and adults, including recreational and competitive athletes, can be evaluated for elbow injuries or overuse conditions.

When is urgent care recommended for Elbow Problems?

Urgent care is recommended when there is severe pain, swelling, deformity, visible injury, numbness, or inability to move the joint following trauma.
