Elbow pain can range from a minor annoyance to a debilitating, career ending pain. It can effect both young and old, and not just golfers and athletes playing racquet sports. Slouching at a desk all day or repetitive stress at work are as much to blame as repetitive stress from a particular sport. Elbow pain is often referred to as epicondylitis or “tennis elbow”. Whichever your case, elbow pain can quickly hamper daily work, hobbies, and family life.
Understanding the cause of elbow pain is the first step to finding lasting pain relief. Most traditional treatments fail to address the root cause, and the pain can quickly become severe and chronic. In this article, we’ll dive into the root cause of calf pain and explore an effective treatment option for lasting elbow pain relief.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is repetitive stress of the neck muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. Individuals who spend most of their day sitting at work, or doing sedentary activities, have a high-risk factor for developing this condition. The risk for developing neck pain is highest for those who sit in poor posture, with the head in a flexed forward position.
Several other causes of neck pain are also posture related, such as herniated discs, whiplash injuries, and Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones). Poor posture puts your cervical spine, disks, and muscles in the neck at risk of injury and damage.
Joint specific and topical remedies for elbow pain are often limited and provide only short-term relief. Fortunately, there is another proven method that focuses on the root cause of pain, resulting in lasting relief for both acute and chronic elbow pain.
Ice, heat, and pain relief creams are topical remedies that might feel good when applied but usually wear off in a very short amount of time.
Steroid shots and surgeries are isolated to the location of the pain are unsuccessful when the root cause is elsewhere in the body.
General stretching and massage only provide short-term relief since their focus is on the site of the pain and not the root cause.
Over-the-counter and prescription meds only mask the pain temporarily, which often results in symptoms getting worse over time.

Treatments that are limited to the elbow alone often fail because the pain area is not usually the problem area. Remedies applied directly to the pain area are ineffective when the cause of elbow pain is blamed on a problem with the area itself, such as bursitis or tendonitis. All of these causes actually have a single, deeper, root cause.
If the natural sitting or standing alignment of the shoulders, spine, hips, knees, and feet are not balanced and level, one shoulder blade can be winged and pulled forward causing the arm to be held in an internal position. This puts extra stress on the elbow joint and the surrounding muscles and tendons. With daily stress and tension from the imbalanced muscles, the ligaments and tendons get strained and the elbow will get inflamed and start to hurt.
For treatment of elbow pain to be truly effective, it must focus on correcting posture and straightening the joints from elbow to shoulder and from head to toe. Posture Therapy is the only method that provides whole-body posture correction and pain relief.
