Elbow Problems Treatable with Physical Therapy

Elbow Sprain/Strain – An elbow sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments that stabilize the elbow. A sprain could be the result of a forced twisting of the arm, falling on an outstretched arm, or receiving a blow to the elbow. Risk of elbow sprain is high among athletes. Those with poor balance, poor flexibility, or loose joints are also at higher risk.
