Elbow
As the region’s most preferred orthopedic practice, OrthoArizona has a team of elbow doctors who are exceptional experts and leaders in diagnosing and treating elbow injuries and conditions.
The elbow joint goes through complex motions, making it prone to instability and damage or injury of the tendons, ligaments, and bones. Elbow discomfort and conditions can be a significant limitation for anyone no matter their age or level of activity. Consulting an elbow specialist allows for a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint the source of your pain. This could range from injuries from repetitive motion in a younger athlete or years of wear and tear in an older individual.
No matter the type of elbow-related pain, it is important to seek medical care from a professional who can accurately diagnose the elbow injury or condition and offer treatment options to provide pain relief to return to a healthy and active lifestyle.
When Is It Time to Seek Care From an Expert?
Knowing when to seek care can be hard to figure out. You should schedule an appointment if you or a loved one notices any of the following symptoms:
- Elbow pain when bending or straightening your arm
- Large bump on your elbow bone
- Numbness or tingling that moves into your wrist and hand
- Pain that occurs when twisting or moving your wrist
- Pain that radiates from your shoulder to your elbow and wrist
- Swelling, stiffness, or tenderness in the joint
When it comes to picking the right doctor to treat your injury or condition, there are several factors to consider, such as professional training and level of expertise. Our elbow doctors are experts with extensive specialty training and experience. They can locate the source of these symptoms and determine if it is an indication of a serious injury or condition. The most common conditions our elbow doctors treat are:
- Arthritis
- Biceps tendon tears
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Fractures
- Golf injuries
- Lacerations of nerves and tendons
- Ligament tears
- Stiffness
- Tennis elbow

Our team of specialty-trained elbow doctors offers a comprehensive range of treatments, which includes:
