Osteopathic treatment can relieve acute and chronic elbow pain and restore function by improving range of motion, reducing fibrosis and adhesions, remodelling tissue architecture, stimulating tissue regeneration, improving blood supply and normalising nerve activity.

Long term resolution can be achieved by identifying and managing underlying causative factors.

Elbow conditions that respond well to osteopathic treatment include:

• tennis elbow or lateral epicondylosis (outer elbow pain);

• golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylosis (inner elbow pain);

• students elbow or olecranon bursitis (back of the elbow pain);

• biceps tendinosis (front of the elbow pain);

• arthritis.
