What We Treat
-
Common Elbow Conditions:
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) affecting the outer elbow tendons from repetitive gripping and wrist extension activities, golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) involving the inner elbow tendons from repetitive flexion and gripping motions, bursitis causing inflammation of fluid-filled sacs around the elbow joint particularly at the olecranon, and tendinitis affecting various tendons including the biceps and triceps attachments. We treat both acute and chronic lateral epicondylitis from occupational and recreational activities, medial epicondylitis in athletes and manual workers, olecranon and radioulnar bursitis, and degenerative tendinopathy requiring comprehensive rehabilitation approaches.
-
Other Elbow Conditions:
Elbow ligament sprains and tears including ulnar collateral ligament injuries common in throwing athletes and lateral collateral ligament damage from trauma, cubital tunnel syndrome involving compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow causing numbness and tingling, ulnar nerve entrapment creating symptoms in the ring and little fingers, arthritis-related elbow pain from osteoarthritis causing joint degeneration or rheumatoid arthritis creating inflammatory damage, and fractures or dislocations requiring specialized post-injury rehabilitation. We treat acute and chronic ligament instability, nerve compression syndromes, post-traumatic arthritis, and complex elbow injuries requiring multidisciplinary care.
-
Post-Surgical & Specialized Care:
Post-surgical elbow rehabilitation following arthroscopic and open procedures with protocol-based recovery programs, ligament repair recovery utilizing phase-specific exercises that protect surgical repairs while restoring stability, tendon release recovery focusing on scar tissue management and gradual strengthening progression, sports injury treatment with sport-specific training progressions for throwing and overhead athletes, chronic elbow pain management through multi-modal approaches combining manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, and tailored treatment plans individualized to each patient's condition and functional goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can physical therapy fix tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow?
Yes. Targeted therapy reduces inflammation, restores tendon strength, and corrects movement patterns. Most cases resolve without injections or surgery.
How long does recovery usually take?
Recovery typically takes 6–8 weeks. Patients often notice improvement in grip strength and pain reduction within the first few sessions.
What if I’ve already tried PT or bracing and it didn’t help?
Not all PT approaches are the same. At Spectrum Therapeutics, you work one-on-one with Dr. Rob Letizia, Doctor of Physical Therapy. Advanced manual therapy, shockwave treatment, and specific loading programs are used when generic care fails.
Do you treat post-surgical elbow patients?
Yes. We regularly manage recovery after tendon repairs, elbow fractures, and ligament reconstruction. Therapy restores range of motion, strength, and function safely and in coordination with your surgeon’s protocol.
