When Should I Seek Treatment From an Elbow Doctor?
Many elbow problems can be resolved with nonsurgical treatment, but delaying care can make symptoms worse or lead to long-term complications. Our doctors carefully evaluate each patient and recommend the most effective and least invasive approach possible.
Individuals experiencing elbow issues may notice symptoms such as:
- Persistent or sharp elbow pain
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Swelling or tenderness around the joint
- Clicking, locking, or instability when moving the elbow
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the forearm, hand, or fingers
- Pain that worsens with lifting, gripping, or repetitive activity
- Lingering discomfort from a past injury
If you experience any of these symptoms, it may indicate one of the following elbow conditions:
- Biceps or triceps tendon tears
- Elbow arthritis
- Elbow bursitis
- Fractures or dislocations
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Nerve entrapment (cubital tunnel syndrome)
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis
- Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury

What to Expect With Our Elbow Doctors
At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, our team works together to provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition, activity level, and recovery goals. Whenever appropriate, we recommend conservative care such as rest, bracing, physical therapy, or injections. If surgery becomes necessary, our orthopedic surgeons are highly skilled in advanced procedures such as ligament reconstruction (including Tommy John surgery), tendon repair, and fracture fixation. From your first visit through full recovery, we’re committed to delivering exceptional care every step of the way.
