Common Elbow Conditions We Treat
Elbow pain can come from muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae, or the joint itself. We evaluate the source of your symptoms before recommending treatment. Common conditions include:
Elbow Tendon and Soft Tissue Conditions
Tendon and soft tissue problems are among the most common causes of elbow pain.
They can develop from repetitive movements, sports, lifting, gripping, or everyday overuse. Symptoms may include pain, tenderness, weakness, and discomfort when moving the wrist or arm.
Common conditions we treat:
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
- Elbow Tendon Injuries
- Tendonitis and Tendinopathy
- Tendon Strains and Tears
- Overuse and Repetitive Strain Injuries
- Sports-Related Elbow Injuries
Elbow Joint and Bursa Conditions
Problems affecting the elbow joint or bursa can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
These conditions may develop gradually with age or occur following injury, repetitive pressure, or joint stress.
Common conditions we treat:
- Olecranon Bursitis
- Elbow Osteoarthritis
- Joint Stiffness
- Cartilage-Related Elbow Pain
- Degenerative Joint Changes
- Chronic Elbow Joint Pain
Elbow Ligament Injuries and Persistent Pain
Ligament injuries can affect elbow stability and often occur after falls, sports injuries, or sudden force.
Some patients may also experience ongoing elbow pain after an injury or surgery. We assess the underlying cause to help determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Common conditions we treat:
- Elbow Ligament Sprains
- Partial and Complete Ligament Tears
- Elbow Instability
- Chronic Elbow Pain
- Post-Surgical Elbow Pain
- Post-Injury Elbow Pain

Non-Surgical Elbow Pain Treatments At Our Clinic in Rhode Island
Not every elbow problem requires surgery. Depending on your diagnosis, our team recommend conservative and regenerative approaches designed to reduce pain and improve function.
Cellular
Red Laser Therapy
Red laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific light wavelengths.
Depending on the condition being treated, it may be included in a pain management program alongside other therapies.
Regenerative
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated portion of a patient’s own blood.
The preparation contains platelets and growth factors and may be considered for selected tendon and soft-tissue injuries.
Whether PRP is appropriate depends on the individual’s diagnosis and overall condition.
Stimulant
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy involves targeted injections intended to stimulate a healing response in certain injured or painful tissues.
It may be considered for selected ligament, tendon, or joint-related problems after a proper evaluation.

“When I came to Dr. Cherubini I could barely walk. After having Stem Cell treatments, my knee pain vanished but my ligaments acted up (former dancer). Dr. Cherubini resolved all the problems and I am walking better now than a decade ago. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. I am so glad I found Dr. Cherubini.”
