Tennis and golfer's elbow, radial and median nerve neuropathies and interosseous syndrome: specialised elbow physiotherapy in Terrassa.
Conditions I treat
Wrist extensor tendinopathy
Tennis elbow: overload of the extensor tendons on the outside of the elbow. Ultrasound assessment, EPI and progressive loading exercise.
What you may notice: Pain on the outside of the elbow when gripping, lifting a cup, turning a key or shaking hands; a weak hand.
Wrist flexor tendinopathy
Golfer's elbow: overload of the flexor tendons on the inside of the elbow, common in throwers, climbers and manual work. Assessment and management of load.
What you may notice: Pain on the inside of the elbow when gripping or flexing the wrist against resistance; tenderness when pressing the area.
Radial and median nerve neuropathies
Irritation or compression of the nerves in the forearm or elbow. We assess the course with ultrasound and work on neural mobility and, when appropriate, percutaneous neuromodulation.
What you may notice: Tingling, numbness or weakness in the forearm and hand: on the back of the hand and when extending the wrist (radial), or in the thumb, index and middle fingers, often at night (median).
Interosseous syndrome
Entrapment of a branch of the radial or median nerve in the forearm. Ultrasound assessment and, if needed, coordination with your doctor.
What you may notice: Deep forearm pain and hand weakness, such as difficulty pinching with thumb and index finger or extending the fingers, often with little loss of sensation.
What it involves
Specialised physiotherapy in Terrassa: each plan is tailored to your injury and your situation. First we assess, then we choose the technique.
- Ultrasound assessment of tendons and nerves
- EPI and dry needling for elbow tendinopathy
- Manual therapy, neural mobility and strength exercise
- Activity guidelines and ergonomics
If the pain doesn't improve within a few weeks, limits you or returns every time you resume activity, an assessment is worthwhile. After a hard blow, significant swelling or if you can't bear weight, see a doctor or the emergency department first.
