Elbow pain can be a repetitive stress injury, like in tennis elbow. A chiropractor, orthopedist or your primary doctor can all determine the type of elbow pain and a chiropractor can treat this.
There are several causes for elbow pain. If the pain is severe or has been there longer than 2 weeks, you should definitely see a Doctor for examination.
There are many reasons for elbow pain. One common reason is tendonitis. Not knowing anything about you and how the pain began makes it impossible to give you a good answer. Obviously if the pain is interfering with your activities of daily living you should consult a physician. cbm Christopher B Michelsen, MD, FAOA, FAAOS, FACS Col (Ret) USA Professor (Emeritus) Orthopaedic Surgery Columbia University, College of P&S
