Golfers Elbow
Sports
What Is Golfer's Elbow?
Contrary to what the name implies, Golfer’s Elbow can occur due to a multitude of sporting activities.
It occurs during strenuous and repetitive gripping or lifting, causing the muscles in the forearm to become irritated and strained.
Conditions
What Are The Symptoms?
Common symptoms of Golfer’s Elbow include:
- Stiffness in your elbow
- Weakness in your hands or wrists
- Numbness or tingling sensation
- Pain along the forearm
What Are The Risks If Left Untreated?
Leaving Golfer’s Elbow untreated could result in permanent damage, chronic pain, tendonitis, and a limited range of motion.
Over time, this can become extremely debilitating and has the potential to lead to further complications.
How Is It Treated?
Because Golfer’s Elbow is typically caused by repetitive motion, treatment should be focused on rebuilding muscles, improving neuron connection, reducing inflammation, and taking stress off the ligaments.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we use a combination of adjustments to the extremities and soft tissue techniques that allow you to recover safely and help prevent permanent, life-long damage.
