Elbow Pain

Elbow pain is rarely an elbow problem

It often starts gradually..

.. and can feel like aching during tasks, sharp pain when lifting, a weak grip, or even tingling into your forearm or hand.

It’s easy to brush off as “just overuse” or “tennis elbow.”
But your elbow doesn’t work alone; it’s part of a bigger chain, and when something else in that chain isn’t working properly, your elbow ends up taking up the slack.

Common elbow pain triggers:

Repetitive strain (manual work, lifting, typing)
Tendon irritation (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
Poor shoulder or wrist mechanics
Nerve irritation (from the neck or forearm)
Structural imbalance or poor posture
Sports injuries or impact trauma

So what can you do?

If your elbow is overworking to make up for dysfunction elsewhere, treating the elbow alone won’t fix it. That’s why taping, painkillers, or local treatments might ease the pain, but it can keep coming back.

At The Backstory, we treat elbow pain differently. We look beyond the elbow; assessing the entire chain of movement to find where the real breakdown is happening.

Trade in taping, painkillers, and recurring flare-ups, for long-term relief, by correcting the reason your elbow keeps getting overloaded in the first place.
