?How do physical therapy exercises contribute to the treatment of elbow pain

Physical therapy exercises play a crucial role in elbow pain treatment by targeting the muscles surrounding the elbow joint. Strengthening exercises help stabilize the joint and improve its function, while stretching exercises increase flexibility and reduce muscle tightness. Additionally, specific exercises can address underlying biomechanical issues contributing to elbow pain, promoting pain relief and enhanced mobility.

?What are some common pain management options for treating elbow pain

Common pain management options for treating elbow pain include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Additionally, corticosteroid injections may be administered directly into the affected area to provide targeted relief of inflammation and pain. Other modalities such as ice or heat therapy, physical therapy, and rest may also be recommended depending on the underlying cause and severity of the elbow pain.
