What are some ways to treat an elbow injury?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on injury: There are several options available for treatment of elbow injuries, but it ultimately depends on what type of injury has occurred. Possible options include observation/rest/activity modifications, over the counter vs. Prescription meds, injection/aspiration, braces, physical therapy, and possibly surgery as well. Ultimately, accurate diagnosis will determine the best course of treatment.
