Great group of people, I felt like they truly wanted to figure out what was causing my pain rather than dismissing me once the Xray came back fine. Highly recommend OrthoNY.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of elbow conditions does OrthoNY treat?
At OrthoNY, we treat a comprehensive range of elbow conditions, including lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow), olecranon bursitis, ulnar collateral ligament injuries, fractures, dislocations, tendinitis, nerve compression syndromes like cubital tunnel syndrome, and arthritis. Our team evaluates each patient using detailed diagnostic imaging and functional testing to determine the root cause of elbow pain. With a personalized approach, we develop treatment plans that may include physical therapy, bracing, injections, or surgery. Our goal is to restore mobility and function through the least invasive methods possible to relieve pain, regain strength, and help patients return to their favorite activities.
When should I see a specialist for elbow pain?
Persistent elbow pain that does not improve with rest, icing, or over-the-counter medications may require evaluation by a specialist. Symptoms such as swelling, stiffness, tingling, numbness, or reduced range of motion should not be ignored. If you have difficulty performing daily tasks like opening jars or lifting objects, or if you have experienced trauma like a fall or sports injury, it’s time to consult an orthopedic expert. At OrthoNY, we see patients from Clifton Park, Saratoga, and beyond who want fast answers and effective relief. Our diagnostic tools and treatment plans are designed to help you avoid further damage and recover more quickly.
What treatments are available for elbow injuries?
OrthoNY offers a full spectrum of treatment options for elbow injuries. Non-surgical options include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, physical therapy, and injections such as cortisone or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). For patients who do not respond to initial treatment, we offer minimally invasive and open surgical procedures, including tendon repair, fracture fixation, and nerve decompression. Each treatment plan is tailored based on the severity of the condition, the patient’s lifestyle, and long-term health goals.
How is elbow arthritis managed at OrthoNY?
Elbow arthritis can be caused by aging, injury, or autoimmune conditions. At OrthoNY, we begin with treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, activity modifications, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections. When symptoms are severe and interfere with quality of life, surgical options like arthroscopy, debridement, or even elbow replacement may be considered. Our team evaluates each patient’s joint health, overall health, and activity levels to recommend the most effective solution. From Albany to Glens Falls, we are committed to helping patients with elbow arthritis find lasting relief and improved function.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
During your first visit, an OrthoNY specialist will review your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and may order imaging tests such as X-rays or MRIs. We will ask detailed questions about your symptoms, activity levels, and previous treatments. Our goal is to understand how your elbow condition impacts your daily life so we can create a tailored care plan. You’ll leave with clear next steps, whether that’s beginning physical therapy or scheduling a procedure. With clinics throughout the Capital Region, we make it easy to get the expert orthopedic care you need close to home.
Is surgery always necessary for elbow conditions?
No, surgery is often considered a last resort. At OrthoNY, we believe in starting with the most conservative and effective treatments available. Many elbow conditions respond well to non-invasive options such as physical therapy, medications, bracing, and injections. However, if your condition does not improve or worsens over time, surgical intervention may be recommended to correct the underlying issue and restore full function. Our experienced surgeons will walk you through your options and provide guidance every step of the way. You can trust that our priority is helping you recover with the least disruption possible.
Where can I see an elbow specialist in the Capital Region?
OrthoNY provides elbow care at locations including Albany, Clifton Park, Malta, Saratoga, and other Capital Region offices. Whether you’re dealing with tennis elbow, cubital tunnel syndrome, or an elbow fracture, our board-certified, fellowship-trained specialists deliver personalized treatment plans. Patients benefit from convenient access to diagnostics, therapy, and surgical options within a single, coordinated system.
