Golfer’s Elbow Treatment

Effective Relief from Inner Elbow Pain and Arm Weakness

Golfer’s elbow, medically known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and inflammation on the inside of the elbow where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump of the elbow. Despite its name, golfer’s elbow doesn’t only affect golfers—it can impact anyone who performs repetitive wrist, hand, or forearm movements. At our clinic, we specialize in non-surgical, personalized treatment plans to relieve pain, restore strength, and get you back to doing what you love.

What Causes Golfer’s Elbow?

Golfer’s elbow occurs when repeated stress or overuse causes tiny tears in the tendons that control wrist and finger movements. Common causes include:

• Repetitive gripping or lifting

• Forceful wrist or finger motions

• Poor technique in sports like golf, baseball, or tennis

• Occupational activities like carpentry, typing, or painting

• Weak wrist or forearm muscles

Without proper treatment, the condition can become chronic and limit hand strength and flexibility.

Common Symptoms

• Pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow

• Stiffness in the elbow, especially in the morning

• Weakness in the hands and wrists

• Numbness or tingling in the ring and little fingers

• Pain that worsens with wrist flexion, gripping, or lifting

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek early treatment to avoid long-term damage.

Our Golfer’s Elbow Treatment Approach

At our facility, we use a comprehensive, non-invasive approach focused on relieving pain, promoting tendon healing, and preventing recurrence. Whether your condition is new or persistent, we’ll develop a customized plan that fits your lifestyle and recovery goals.

1. Thorough Assessment and Diagnosis

Our team will begin with a detailed evaluation, including:

• Physical examination of the elbow and forearm

• Range of motion and grip strength tests

• Discussion of your activity history and symptoms

• Imaging (if needed) to rule out other conditions

2. Pain and Inflammation Management

Initial treatment focuses on relieving discomfort through:

• Ice therapy and rest

• Anti-inflammatory medications (if needed)

• Therapeutic ultrasound or TENS therapy

• Taping or bracing to support the tendon

3. Targeted Physiotherapy

Once pain is under control, we begin rehabilitation with a personalized plan that includes:

• Gentle stretching to improve flexibility

• Progressive strengthening of the forearm muscles

• Eccentric exercises to promote tendon healing

• Manual therapy to release soft tissue restrictions

4. Technique & Ergonomics Coaching

Our therapists will evaluate your sports technique or occupational movement patterns to correct improper mechanics that may be contributing to the problem.
