Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are common overuse injuries that cause pain and inflammation in the tendons of the elbow. Tennis elbow affects the outer part of the elbow, known as the lateral epicondylitis, while golfer’s elbow impacts the inner part, which is the medial epicondylitis. These conditions often develop from repetitive wrist and arm motions, whether from sports, manual labor, or even desk work, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced grip strength. Left untreated, tennis or golfer’s elbow can worsen over time, causing persistent discomfort and making everyday tasks more difficult. Simple actions like gripping objects, lifting, or even shaking hands can trigger pain, limiting your ability to stay active and work efficiently.

Chiropractic care can help address these conditions by reducing tension, improving joint function, and supporting tendon healing. Gentle adjustments and targeted therapies promote better alignment and circulation, aiding in recovery and preventing further injury. If tennis or golfer’s elbow is limiting your daily activities, chiropractic care may provide relief and support your recovery.
