Golfer's Elbow

Golfers' Elbow is the common term used to describe pain and discomfort in the medial epicondyle. Commonly referred as golfers' elbow for the high incidence of golfers who suffer from this condition due to the stresses put upon the elbow during the game of golf.

Last week I saw a new patient who came in solely for the treatment of of his golfer's elbow. As it turned out, not only did he have golfers' eblow, but he had an upper extremity bio-mechanical problem. We actually got more relief in the elbow by releasing his shoulder than by working on the actual elbow!

The key with this patient was understanding the entire upper extremity bio-mechanics!

Don't let injuries slow you down! If you have any questions regarding golfers' elbow, please call me. I'll be more than happy to see if I can help!
