9. Treatment
Non-surgical treatment options are aimed at reducing inflammation and pressure on the ulnar nerve. It is the best treatment option for people who have mild to moderate symptoms. If the condition is severe, surgical intervention may be required.
Your doctor will assess the condition and according to your symptoms and the cause of the entrapment, determine the best treatment option. Most doctors start with adjusting the posture of your elbow during your daily activities. For example, the way you eat or use the phone. NSAIDs may relieve the pain. If the medical treatment fails or the condition is too severe, your doctor may recommend surgery.
