Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) causes pain on the outside of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) causes pain on the inside. Both are overuse injuries of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow, and both can make gripping, lifting or turning a doorknob painful.

Despite their names, you don’t have to play tennis or golf to develop them. Repetitive work such as typing, painting, carpentry or using tools can cause the same problem.

Our Chiropractors Will

• Perform a thorough examination of your elbow, wrist, shoulder and neck to determine the structures involved.

• Use shockwave therapy, soft-tissue work, Kinesio taping, acupuncture and adjustments to reduce pain and support healing.

• Prescribe stretches and strengthening exercises and review your grip, swing or workstation to reduce strain.
