Don't Let Elbow Pain Stop Your Progress

You're working hard to stay active, but persistent elbow pain keeps getting in the way

Sharp Pain That Won't Quit

Every time you grip a barbell, throw a ball, or even shake hands, that nagging pain in your elbow flares up and limits what you can do.

Fear of Making It Worse

You're holding back during workouts and daily activities, worried that pushing through the pain will cause permanent damage or a longer recovery.

Generic Solutions That Fail

You've tried rest, ice, and online exercises, but nothing addresses why your elbow pain started in the first place or how to prevent it from coming back.

After only 6 treatment sessions with Dr. Matt I'm already at 15,000 steps, with an average of 12k most days. I'm getting back to doing the things I love like rebounding and hiking without my foot throbbing in pain. Dr. Matt takes the time to really listen to what's going on and work on the root cause.

 I wish I had found Dr. Eliza Cohen at Conquer Movement three years ago. Traditional PT was fine, but my pain never went away. I have been in her care for 3 months. My lower back pain and shoulder pain are gone. My hip pain has now subsided and is manageable. I am grateful for her kindness, patience, and knowledge.

 In September I was diagnosed with a herniated disc, absolutely the most painful and debilitating injury I've ever had. I learned more about my injury from Steve in the initial assessment than from a highly credible spine surgeon. I've now been with CM for about 6 weeks. I've gained back an incredible amount of movement and drastically reduced the pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.

Do you accept my insurance for elbow pain physical therapy?

Conquer Movement is an out-of-network provider operating through a fee-for-service model. Payments are accepted at time of service via cash, check, debit, or credit card. We provide a detailed bill you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. This model allows us to provide full 60-minute one-on-one sessions focused entirely on your needs—not insurance company limitations.

 How long are elbow pain physical therapy sessions?

 Every session is a full 60 minutes one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy—no rotating staff, no assistants. This dedicated time allows us to perform thorough assessments, hands-on manual therapy including dry needling when appropriate, and personalized corrective exercises that address the root cause of your elbow pain.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your initial evaluation is a comprehensive 60-minute assessment where your DPT will review your injury history, analyze your movement patterns, perform specialized orthopedic tests, and identify the root cause of your elbow pain. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and a personalized treatment plan to get you back to your activities.

 How long does elbow pain treatment take?

Treatment duration varies based on your specific condition, injury timeline, and goals. Many patients see significant improvement within 6-8 sessions. Because we spend full 60-minute sessions addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, recovery is often faster and more cost-effective than traditional insurance-based models with high deductibles and co-pays.

 Do I need a referral to start elbow pain physical therapy in Wilmington?

 No! North Carolina has Direct Access laws, meaning you can call us directly to schedule an appointment without a physician referral. Having immediate access to physical therapy can often be the difference between your condition being acute and temporary versus becoming chronic. We'll coordinate with your physician or specialist as needed.
