Elbow Pain That Won’t Quit Is Holding You Back

Whether it’s a sharp ache during your backswing, a persistent burn after pickleball, or chronic stiffness that limits your workday — untreated elbow pain only gets worse.

You’ve Tried to Push Through It 

Rest, ice, and over-the-counter solutions haven’t solved the root cause. The pain keeps coming back — sometimes worse than before.

Generic Treatment Isn’t Working 

Cookie-cutter PT plans and rushed appointments leave you cycling through exercises that don’t match your actual injury or lifestyle.

Your Activities Are Slipping Away

Golf rounds cut short. Pickleball benched. Workouts modified. Elbow pain is quietly stealing the activities that make life worth living.

What Our Columbus Patients Say

Real results from real people

“I had been dealing with tennis elbow for a couple of months and it was only getting worse. After talking with Alex at Vine Performance, he assured me that they could help with my injury. After 10 sessions, I was easily back on the Pickleball court with no more pain at all in the elbow. Alex was very knowledgeable and provided me with information on not only recovery, but also mitigating the risk of the issue returning.”

“I could barely move my neck and upper back & was in severe pain. Ryan was extremely helpful in getting me back to normal. He was friendly, educated me on what was going on, and got me back to feeling normal. Highly recommend!!”

“Having a PT at your gym is great, but even better when it’s Dr. Parrish. I had a decade-long shoulder issue that was quickly identified and worked on, and I felt better after the first visit. After a few weeks of visits, my issue is essentially gone and my pain levels have evaporated.”
