Treating cubital tunnel syndrome takes more than stretching and physical therapy. Those suffering from its debilitating symptoms also need support that they can count on.

Carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome both share similar symptoms and are a result of nerve compression. However, they are distinct conditions that affect different nerves in the elbow and the wrist.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, also known as ulnar neuropathy, is a condition that involves increased pressure and irritation on the ulnar nerve and can cause numbness, tingling or weakness in the hands or arms.

Tennis elbow (A.K.A golfer’s elbow or lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition of the elbow caused by inflammation and/or irritation of the tendons that attach to the elbow.

Conservative management is the mainstay of treatment for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Such measures include rest, bracing, and physical therapy. The goal is to promote faster healing and avoid potentially unneeded surgeries.
