Elbow Pain
Are you experiencing elbow pain? Muscle therapy techniques like active release therapy (ART) are safe and effective ways to treat the cause of elbow pain and reduce the pain that you’re experiencing. At Northbridge Chiropractic in Perth, our team of qualified practitioners offer a variety of treatments to restore movement in your elbow and get you back to leading the lifestyle you want to lead as quickly and safely as possible.
What Causes Elbow Pain?
Elbow conditions and injuries which cause severe and ongoing pain are commonly seen in sportspeople like tennis and golf players, but elbow pain and injuries can affect anyone at any age and when that happens, timely professional treatment is a must.
Tennis elbow is one of the most well-known elbow conditions and is caused by repetitive tension placed on the forearm muscles while the wrist is extended. The repetitive pressure and tension placed on the muscles and tendons leads to inflammation which then results in scarring and a build-up of scar tissue over time if not properly treated.
While tennis elbow generally affects the muscles and tendons of the outer elbow, golfer’s elbow generally affects the inner elbow, and similar conditions often arise in occupations that involve repetitive tasks involving the forearm muscle, including mechanical trades. Elbow pain isn’t always caused by sports or work tasks and can be caused by a one-off incident which overloads the forearm muscles or gradual tendon degeneration. If you experience pain when you grip or hold an object, open doors, straighten your wrist or lift something, see a qualified health practitioner immediately.

Frequently Ask Questions
Chiropractic care in Perth | simple answers to common questions
1. What does a chiropractor do?
- A chiropractor looks at how your body moves and functions as a whole. This includes your posture, joints, muscles, and nervous system. At Northbridge Chiropractic, we focus on understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms, not just where it hurts.
2. Can chiropractic help with back or neck pain?
- Many people visit for back discomfort, neck tension, headaches, or stiffness. Chiropractic care may help support how your body moves and manages daily load, which can play a role in how these issues show up. A proper assessment helps guide what’s appropriate for you.
3. Why does my pain keep coming back?
- Pain often isn’t the starting point. Things like posture, work habits, stress, and movement patterns build up over time. If those don’t change, the body can return to the same pattern. That’s why we focus on long-term changes, not just short-term relief.
4. What happens at your first chiropractic appointment?
Your first visit is about understanding your situation.
We’ll go through:
- Your history
- How your body is moving
- What may be contributing
We then explain what we’re seeing and what your options are.
5. Do I need ongoing chiropractic care?
- Care is always your choice. Some people come in for short-term support. Others choose ongoing care to stay consistent and support their long-term health. We guide you, but you decide what fits your life.
6. Is chiropractic care safe?
- Chiropractic care is widely used to support movement and function. We take the time to assess properly and tailor care to the individual. If something isn’t suitable, we’ll let you know.
7. Do you need X-rays?
- Not always. We only consider imaging if it’s clinically appropriate and helps guide care. In many cases, a thorough assessment is enough.
8. I already stretch and exercise, why am I still tight?
- Tightness isn’t always about needing more stretching. It can be your body responding to how you move, sit, or manage stress. If the underlying pattern stays the same, the tightness often returns.
9. Can I keep working or exercising?
- In most cases, yes. We aim to keep you moving while adjusting how much load your body is handling.
10. How do I book a chiropractor in Perth?
- You can book online at a time that suits you. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re happy to guide you through the process.
