Elbow Pain in Ankeny, IA

Don’t Let Elbow Pain Change How You Use Your Arm.

Elbow pain can make surprisingly simple things difficult.

Lifting weights. Gripping a racket. Carrying something. Working at a desk. Playing sports. Even opening a jar.

Whether your pain developed gradually from repetitive activity or started after an injury, continuing to work around it doesn’t necessarily address why it’s happening.

We want to understand what your elbow needs to get back to normal use—and the activities you enjoy.

Find Out What Your Elbow Can Handle

Pain Is Only One Part of the Picture.

Your elbow doesn’t work alone. Your wrist, forearm, shoulder, and the way you load your arm can all influence how your elbow handles activity.

Your evaluation may look at:

  • Grip strength
  • Elbow and wrist mobility
  • Shoulder function
  • Strength and endurance
  • Repetitive loading
  • Sport or work demands
  • Movements that reproduce your symptoms

Understanding those factors helps us determine what needs to change.

Build Your Way Back to Using Your Arm.

Stronger. More Capable. Less Limited.

Treatment may begin by reducing irritation and restoring comfortable movement.

Then, as your symptoms allow, we’ll progressively build strength and tolerance so your elbow can handle the activities that matter to you.

Whether you want to lift, play sports, work comfortably, or simply use your arm without thinking about your elbow, your recovery should ultimately prepare you for that.

“Dr Stewart is amazing! I have experienced pain for over 5 years and have tried acupuncture, massages, other forms of physical therapy, several injections, needling, and have gone to countless specialists. Working with Dr Stewart has helped me gain mobility back and I finally have relief in dealing with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Josh is very personable, listens, and has been awesome to work with!”
