Osteoarthritis elbow treatment by physiotherapy in Rotterdam

Osteoarthritis of the Elbow: Symptoms and Treatment

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage in the joints becomes worn out. The cartilage normally ensures smooth movement of the joint. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears excessively, causing the smooth surface to become thinner and/or crumbly or even disappear completely. Although osteoarthritis of the elbow is less common than osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, it can lead to pain and disability in the elbow.

 

Causes of Elbow Osteoarthritis

The most common cause of elbow osteoarthritis is an accident or trauma, where the cartilage becomes damaged and becomes thinner and rougher over time. This is called post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Another possible cause is rheumatism.

 

Treatment methods

Non-operative treatment

If the severity of the complaints permits, pain relief and adjustment of the load on the elbow can first be considered.

Surgical treatment

  • Arthroscopy: Keyhole surgery can be used to remove loose pieces of bone or cartilage from the elbow joint.
  • Elbow prosthesis: An elbow prosthesis can be placed in cases of severe osteoarthritis.
  • Radial head replacement: If the osteoarthritis is limited to the joint between the end of the radius bone (the radial head) and the upper arm (humerus), sometimes only the radial head can be replaced. This usually occurs with post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

 

What can Physiotherapy do for you?

Our physiotherapists help you move safely, postpone or prevent surgery, and regain confidence in your body. Together we draw up a personal treatment plan, focused on your specific needs and goals, such as walking, climbing stairs and working.

 

Rates and Reimbursement

The reimbursement for physiotherapy varies per health insurance. We have contracts with almost all health insurers. Consult your care package and our Rates and Reimbursement page for detailed information.

 

Finally

The goal of physiotherapy for elbow osteoarthritis is not only to relieve symptoms but also to improve quality of life by promoting a more active lifestyle. Consult a specialized physiotherapist for a tailor-made treatment plan and follow the advice and exercises for a healthier lifestyle.

A month ago I came to Fysio Iburg with a groin injury. I have been dealing with this for a year, tried various treatments but unfortunately without results. However, after 3 treatments with Arnold my complaints disappeared. I am therefore very grateful to the practice for their expert treatments. This allows me to exercise again like before!

Super good and knowledgeable help from Kate. Had a shoulder injury. I received good exercises and was free of injury/pain after a few weeks. Continue to do the exercises to keep the shoulder strong. I would recommend Physio Iburg Rotterdam.
Frank van Hemert
Had great treatment from Farid. Came in with severe back and shoulder pain, a combination of dry needling and old-fashioned cracking, the next day it went much better. Super!
Eelco Schuller

Due to working from home a lot, poor posture and stress, I had a lot of problems with my shoulder and neck. Together with Fysio Iburg I made a plan in which treatment and exercises have resulted in enormous improvements within a short period of time. I am very satisfied!

I am very satisfied with the treatment (dry needling) by Arnold at Physiotherapy Iburg. I can't believe that I got rid of all my complaints within 5 treatments, while I had already been treated by two other physiotherapists without results.

Rehabilitated twice for a year with Joris after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. In addition to excellent physical guidance to make the knee as strong and stable as possible, he is also just a nice person to work with. In addition, always supportive of my (sports) goals, also during recovery.

I had a fall about 2 months ago and had a lot of shoulder problems. Arnold saw me struggling in the gym and asked if I had shoulder problems and then told me that he is a shoulder specialist. This was over the weekend and I was able to visit him the following Monday. The treatment is uncomfortable but with great results.

Back complaints

Excellent! I have/had a fairly complex complaint in my back after an inguinal hernia. I walked crookedly for a long time because of the pain and as a result scoliosis started to form. Meanwhile, my vertebrae and my hip were also stuck and could no longer be loosened. After one treatment by Annemieke, the cause was found and the necessary muscles were loosened.

Running analysis

Running analysis is highly recommended to improve your performance and prevent injuries. Back pain and right hip treated and loosened through intensive training. Received very good treatment and information about home exercises that I can do myself. The abdominal muscle exercises I learned have improved my performance and resolved complaints. I have now permanently included these exercises in my training program. Have broad knowledge.
