Patients with elbow or shoulder pain are often complex and can take a long time to resolve. Although it may feel like resting the joint is the best thing you can do for it, it does no favours for long term healing. An osteopath will work with you to try and understand the cause of your problem.
Depending on your age, fitness and the diagnosis we may use a variety of massage and stretching techniques to try and improve the movement and reduce tension in the muscles.
Treatment is different for every patient and we may massage and loosen the joint of the neck and upper and mid back and shoulder blade area. Sometimes we can treat the lower back and hips if we feel they are contributing to your elbow or shoulder pain.
X-rays and scans or other tests may be required to make a diagnosis and we may refer you to your GP for any further assessment and treatment.
Please give us a call to discuss any of your elbow or shoulder problems on 01422 375541. Or complete a contact form and we’ll call you back.
