Comprehensive Elbow Care in Manhattan

Our team provides complete care for all elbow conditions, from diagnosis to recovery. With advanced expertise and a compassionate approach, our specialists help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence—so you can return to doing what you love.

Elbow Anatomy

The elbow is where the upper arm (humerus) meets the two forearm bones (radius and ulna), working in tandem with muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This complex structure allows the arm to bend, straighten, and rotate—functions that make the elbow especially vulnerable to injury.

Common Elbow Conditions We Treat

Elbow issues can stem from injury, overuse, or age-related wear. After diagnosing, our specialists treat a full range of elbow problems, including:

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Outer elbow pain caused by repetitive strain.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Inner elbow pain linked to overuse.
Fractures: Often due to trauma, such as falls or direct blows.
Dislocations: When the bones in the elbow joint shift out of place.
Bursitis: Inflammation of small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the elbow.
Osteoarthritis: Joint cartilage breakdown that leads to stiffness and pain.
Tendonitis: Overuse-related inflammation of elbow tendons.
Ulnar Nerve Entrapment: Compression of the ulnar nerve causing numbness or tingling.

How We Diagnose Elbow Conditions

At NY Sports & Joints, diagnosis begins with a detailed physical examination and a complete review of your symptoms and history. We utilize advanced imaging—such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans—to pinpoint structural issues. When nerve involvement is suspected, we may also perform nerve conduction studies to assess damage or compression.
