Chiropractic Care for Elbow Pain in Woodbridge, VA
Ease the Strain Behind Tennis and Golfer's Elbow
Elbow pain is not just for athletes. Typing, gripping tools, carrying bags, or lifting a coffee cup can all aggravate an overused elbow. Palmercare Chiropractic Woodbridge looks for what is overloading the area.
Dr. Eric Meyer and Dr. Todd Redfearn consider the neck, shoulder, wrist, and grip habits that feed into elbow strain.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Elbow Pain
The elbow depends on the muscles and tendons of the forearm. Repetitive gripping or wrist motion can irritate those tendons, causing pain on the outside or inside of the joint.
Sometimes the true source is higher up, as a nerve irritated in the neck or shoulder can cause elbow symptoms, so we look at the whole arm and upper spine.
Elbow pain commonly appears as:
- Pain on the outside of the elbow
- Pain on the inside of the elbow
- Aching when gripping or lifting
- Stiffness in the morning
- Tingling into the forearm or hand
- Pain after typing or repetitive work
A careful exam helps us separate overuse from nerve involvement.
How We Help Woodbridge Patients with Elbow Pain
We treat the elbow and the links in the chain.
A Thorough Exam
We test elbow, wrist, and shoulder motion plus grip strength, and we check the neck for nerve-related contributors.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments to the elbow, wrist, and neck can restore motion and ease the strain on forearm muscles and tendons.
ArthroStim Therapy
ArthroStim’s gentle, precise adjustment is a comfortable option for tender joints in the arm.
Activity and Ergonomic Advice
We suggest changes to grip, tool use, and workstation setup, along with gentle stretches that reduce load on the tendons.

What is tennis elbow?
Irritation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, often from repetitive gripping or wrist motion.
What is golfer's elbow?
Irritation of tendons on the inside of the elbow, from similar overuse.
Do I need to play tennis or golf to get it?

It may help when joint restriction or posture contributes. Results vary.

Should I rest it?
Relative rest helps, but complete inactivity can slow recovery. We advise what is appropriate.
