Elbow pain treatment with Dr. Kofi begins with a thorough examination to determine the cause of your pain. This could be from tendons, ligaments, nerves, or joint issues. Once the problem is identified, treatment may include bracing, therapy, injections, or surgery, as needed. We provide a straightforward plan that works for your life, without unnecessary steps or confusion.
We use advanced imaging and hands-on assessments to define the true source of pain or dysfunction.
Many patients improve with injections, activity adjustments, or splinting. Physical therapy and ergonomic changes are also key tools in recovery.
If surgery is the right path, we use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible-offering long-term relief and targeted results.
We treat elbow conditions with one goal: to reduce your pain and improve your ability to move without hesitation.
Your care process is built around precision diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and clear communication, so you always know your options.

The proper treatment can reduce pain, restore grip strength, and improve flexibility. For many patients, this means returning to activities such as lifting at work, carrying groceries, or simply sleeping without discomfort.
Working with Dr. Kofi, you also avoid the delays that often accompany traditional referral systems, so relief begins sooner.
If elbow pain is interfering with your daily life, work, or activities, you may benefit from treatment from an orthopedic specialist like Dr. Kofi. Most people start with conservative care, while surgery is reserved for more complex cases.

Patients often mention his calm, clear explanations and the confidence he brings to the treatment process. You’ll always know what to expect next, and if you don’t need surgery, he’ll guide you through your non-surgical options thoughtfully.
