Hand, wrist, and elbow pain treatment at Back In Motion
Quick self-check

Does your hand, wrist, or elbow do any of this?

Check everything that sounds like you.

When it keeps coming back, the real cause hasn't been addressed yet.

Hand and elbow pain is often a symptom, with the cause further up the chain in your shoulder, shoulder blade, or upper back. That's exactly what we find and fix.

Find Out What's Causing Yours
Patient with elbow pain working with a physical therapist
Think it's "just tendonitis"? Here's what you're not being told.

Ice, braces, and cortisone treat the painful spot. They don't fix what's overloading it.

You may have been told "it's tennis elbow," "it's golfer's elbow," "it's carpal tunnel," or "just rest it." But when symptoms keep returning, it's a sign the real cause hasn't been addressed. At Back In Motion, we help patients in Fort Myers and Cape Coral treat the whole movement chain, not just the painful spot. The real issue may include:

  • Shoulder instability or poor shoulder blade control
  • Limited upper back (thoracic) mobility
  • Grip overload from poor mechanics
  • Weakness further up the chain
  • Repetitive strain without proper recovery

Common questions about hand, wrist & elbow pain

Do I need a cortisone shot for tennis elbow?

Not necessarily. Injections can calm pain for a while, but they don't fix what's overloading the tendon. Many people improve with the right strengthening and changes to how they grip, lift, or swing.

Can physical therapy help carpal tunnel?

Often, yes, especially for mild to moderate symptoms. We look at your wrist, posture, and nerve mobility. If symptoms are severe or getting worse, we'll tell you honestly and help coordinate with your doctor.

When should I see a doctor?

See your doctor soon if you have constant numbness, weakness that's getting worse, muscle wasting at the base of your thumb, or swelling and redness after an injury.

Can I keep playing golf or pickleball?

Usually, with some adjustments. We'll show you what's safe to keep doing, what to modify for now, and how to build back up.
