Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is caused by overuse of the forearm muscles. Repetitive motion involving the hand, wrist, or forearm, especially movement that requires flexing, gripping, or swinging, can tear or pull the tendons.

These tears or pulls lead to pain and inflammation in the tendons. Golfer’s elbow often results in gradual pain near the inside of the elbow that worsens over time.

“This place is fantastic. We got right in—the doctors were great and the staff was very professional and kind. We were relieved this wasn't a big run-around and a bunch of nonsense. We would highly recommend.”
