Acupuncture for elbow pain
History of acute trauma, painful local swelling, hematoma or local bleeding. Depending on the location of the injury, pain or loss of function may vary
In addition to arthritis, there are two types of elbow pain that are clinically common.
Inflammation of the convex on the outer arm bone
The main symptom is pain and tenderness around the apical protrusion beyond the brachial and cylindrical joint - rotation, increased pain when the arm is rotated during stretching.
Software acute injury to the elbow
History of acute trauma, painful local swelling, hematoma or local bleeding. Depending on the location of the injury, pain or loss of function may vary. Clinically, it is necessary to determine whether there is a fracture or a wrong joint.
