Targeted relief and recovery for elbow pain, muscle strain, and overuse injuries.
Golfer’s elbow, medically known as medial epicondylitis, isn’t limited to golfers. This painful condition can affect anyone whose daily activities involve gripping, lifting, or repetitive wrist and forearm motions. At BodyMechanics in Englewood, Colorado, we specialize in chiropractic care and rehabilitation for golfer’s elbow, helping patients recover naturally, restore mobility, and return to the activities they love.
Understanding Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow is caused by inflammation or small tears in the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the inside of the elbow. Despite its name, it’s not exclusive to golf—it can also result from activities such as tennis, weightlifting, carpentry, or even frequent typing.
Common Symptoms of Golfer’s Elbow:
- Pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Weakness in the hand or wrist
- Numbness or tingling that may radiate into the fingers
- Discomfort when gripping, twisting, or lifting objects
Causes and Risk Factors
Golfer’s elbow typically develops from repetitive stress placed on the forearm muscles and tendons. Some of the most common causes include:
- Repetitive wrist flexion or forearm pronation
- Poor posture or ergonomics while working or exercising
- Overuse during sports like golf, baseball, tennis, or weight training
- Occupational strain (construction, plumbing, or desk work)
- Lack of stretching or warm-up before activities
What Happens if Golfer’s Elbow Is Left Untreated?
If not addressed early, golfer’s elbow can become a chronic condition that limits strength and mobility. Long-term effects may include:
- Persistent elbow pain and stiffness
- Weak grip strength, making daily tasks difficult
- Radiating pain into the forearm and wrist
- Risk of compensatory injuries in the shoulder or wrist due to overuse
- Prolonged healing times and reduced activity levels
