About Elbow Pain

Elbow pain is a common orthopedic concern addressed through a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach. An orthopedic specialist begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination, assessing range of motion, strength, and pinpointing tender areas. Diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound may be used to visualize bone, joint, and soft tissue structures. Treatment is highly individualized, ranging from conservative management like rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections to surgical interventions for severe cases like tennis elbow release, ulnar nerve transposition, or arthroscopy. The goal is to accurately diagnose the underlying cause, whether it's tendinitis, arthritis, nerve compression, or a fracture, and implement a targeted plan to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
