What we treat Elbow
Golfer's Elbow
Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is an overuse injury that causes pain and inflammation in the tendons that connect your forearm to the inside of your elbow. It's often caused by repetitive gripping or wrist motions, common in golf, tennis, and daily labor.
Common Symptoms
Persistent aching or sharp discomfort localized on the bony bump of your inner elbow.
Difficulty gripping or holding onto sports equipment, tools, or everyday objects because of hand weakness.
Increased stiffness in the elbow joint upon waking up or after periods of inactivity.
The Diagnosis
Diagnosing Golfer's Elbow begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation. We perform specific provocative tests to assess the tension and health of the medial epicondyle tendons. By examining your grip strength, checking for localized tenderness, and ruling out nerve involvement, we build a precise map of your recovery needs.
- Grip strength analysis
- Medial epicondyle palpation
- Passive wrist and finger extension tests
- Functional movement screening
Our Approach to Treating It
Hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce tension in the tendons of the inner elbow.
Targeting trigger points to reset muscle tone and accelerate the body's natural healing response.
Gradual re-introduction of stress to strengthen tendons without causing further irritation or setback.
Evidence-based exercise programs designed to keep you active while your elbow heals and reaches peak excel.
Gently pull your fingers back towards your body until you feel a stretch in the inner forearm. Hold for 30 seconds.
Where do I start?
Press your palm into a table without moving your wrist. Engage the muscles in the forearm for 5-10 seconds.
Slowly lower a light weight towards the floor using only your wrist. Use your other hand to help lift it back up.
