Elbow symptoms can interfere with lifting, gripping, typing, exercising, playing sports, and completing everyday tasks. At All Care Clinic, we assess the elbow and surrounding structures to identify factors that may be contributing to discomfort, stiffness, weakness, or restricted movement.
Our Elbow Pain in Delta, BC care covers several conditions that can affect the elbow following sports activity, repetitive work, an accident, lifting, or gradual tissue irritation. An assessment helps identify the nature of the problem and determine appropriate next steps.
Elbow pain refers to discomfort affecting the elbow joint or nearby muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, or other soft tissues. Symptoms can appear suddenly after an injury or gradually after repeated movements.

Different conditions can produce similar elbow symptoms. At All Care Clinic, we assess a range of problems associated with Elbow Pain in Delta, BC.
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, affects the tendons connected to the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis is not required for this condition to develop.

Typing, tool use, racquet sports, weight training, and repetitive workplace tasks may contribute to symptoms.
Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, affects tendons connected to the inner side of the elbow.
Symptoms may include:
Golf can contribute to the condition, but similar symptoms can also occur from lifting, throwing, workplace tasks, and repeated wrist movements.
