Common Elbow Pain Conditions We Treat.

Elbow pain shows up differently for everyone. Whether you’ve been given a diagnosis or just know something isn’t right – we can help. Here are some of the most common conditions we see at our Crossroads clinic.

Tennis Elbow
(Lateral Epicondylitis)

Pain on the outside of your elbow that flares up with gripping, lifting, or twisting motions. Despite the name, most people who have it don’t play tennis. Rest and bracing may calm it down, but building the tendon’s capacity is what makes it go away for good.

Golfer’s Elbow
(Medial Epicondylitis)

Pain on the inside of your elbow that shows up with gripping, pulling, or swinging. Common in golfers, lifters, and climbers alike. We build the strength and tolerance of the tendon so it can handle the demands you put on it.

Elbow Pain From Lifting

Pull-ups, curls, rows, or pressing movements causing elbow pain? Your elbow isn’t failing you – it just hasn’t built the capacity to handle your training load yet. We get you back under the bar without having to program around the pain.

Nerve-Related Elbow Pain

Tingling, numbness, or pain running into your forearm, hand, or pinky and ring fingers – especially when your elbow is bent for long periods. We identify what’s irritating the nerve and build a plan to calm it down and keep it that way.

Elbow Pain From Sports or Throwing

Whether it’s pickleball, tennis, golf, baseball, or another sport – repetitive swinging and throwing put serious demands on your elbow. We assess your mechanics and build the capacity you need to play without pain.

Post-Surgical & Post-Injury Rehab

Recovering from an elbow surgery, fracture, or dislocation and not back to full strength? We pick up where others left off and get you back to lifting, playing, and using your arm with full confidence.

I was preparing for a trip of a lifetime to Peru but my right hip threatened to spoil my planned hikes. I found TrueFix and Nate Vargas and in 4 short weeks he had me ready to roll. The trip and the hikes were fabulous! I highly recommend Nate and TrueFix.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to a couple of different physical therapy offices, but this one is by far my favorite! Eric and Nathan are both incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I’ve been working with Nathan for the past year, and my appointments are always tailored to my specific physical needs and focused on addressing the pain I’m experiencing.

I truly appreciate all of their help, expertise, and the way they always make me feel so welcome. I’m so thankful to have found such a great team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Nate! With my pain being up and down depending on the week, he always meets me right where I am. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable, his kind personality makes every session feel personal and well thought out.

Over the past few months, Nate has helped me better manage my pain levels and has given me the confidence to get back to doing the activities I enjoy. He takes the time to listen, and will adjust treatment based on how I’m feeling.

I’m so grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend Nate to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their patients’ progress.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had an excellent experience with TrueFix PT and Nate. Nate is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and takes the time to understand what’s actually contributing to an issue rather than simply treating symptoms. He explains what he’s seeing clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and provides practical exercises and strategies that feel tailored to my goals and activities. I’ve really appreciated his professionalism and the quality of care I’ve received. I would absolutely recommend Nate and TrueFix PT to anyone looking for attentive, individualized physical therapy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nate is an exceptional physical therapist. His knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to explain things clearly made a huge difference in my recovery journey. After struggling with confidence in my knee/ACL stability, he helped me rebuild not only strength, but trust in my body again. Every session felt purposeful, encouraging, and tailored to what I needed. On top of that, he’s genuinely easy to talk to and makes the entire process enjoyable. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just got home from my appt with Nate and it was absolutely phenomenal. He answered all my questions, explained everything and made sure I felt competent in what he has in mind for a treatment plan now and going forward. Finding out, that as one gets older, it’s the little issues that add up. Especially when you’re trying to regain previously lost ground, as far as your physical health and performance is concerned. A pain here, an ache there and then the questions start. Is this normal? Should this even be an issue at this point in life?
Nate took his time, listened, asked all the right questions and had the answers that are right for me, my life and goals. This is the best of what I had thought PT was supposed to be.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I met Eric last year, I had been dealing with recurring lower back injuries for over 10 years. My back pain dates back to 2012, and I was stuck in a frustrating cycle: I’d get hurt, stop working out for 2–3 months, start to feel better, return to activity, and then inevitably get hurt again. It felt like I was constantly managing setbacks instead of making real progress.

What stood out immediately with Eric was his philosophy. Previous providers told me to simply avoid the exercises and activities that hurt my back, but those were the activities that were part of my life and things I enjoyed. Avoidance never felt like a real long term solution to me. Eric took a completely different approach. Instead of telling me to stop all together, he helped me build the strength, stability, and resilience needed to safely return to those activities and sustain them long term.

Since working with Eric, I’ve seen major improvements not only in my pain levels, but in how quickly I recover and how confident I feel in my body. Recently, I had a lower back tweak that would normally have sidelined me for months. This time, I was pain-free within a week. That kind of recovery would have been unthinkable for me before, and I credit it to the durability and foundation I’ve built through his guidance.

He’s also helped me completely reframe how I think about training and longevity. It’s no longer about pushing until something breaks and starting over—it’s about building a body that can handle life and stay strong for the long term.

Furthermore, the scheduling system, email reminders, and use of the TrueCoach app make it easy to stay consistent and know exactly what to do. Communication is easy and Eric is always accessible when I have questions.

I’ve recommended TrueFix to multiple friends and family members, and they’ve all had great experiences as well. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, recurring injuries, or want to build a stronger, more resilient body for the long term, I can’t recommend TrueFix Physical Therapy enough.
