Golfer's Elbow or Medial Epicondylitis

Golfer's elbow is inflammation of the tendon that attaches to the inside of the elbow. This is the tendon of the muscles that are responsible for bending the wrist forward.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjustments restore motion to the elbow joint and increase the range of motion. Ice and interferential current may be used to reduce the amount of inflammation in the area. Active release treatment is used to break-up scar tissue and improve joint function. Stretching and strengthening exercise are incorporated into the treatment plan at the appropriate time to reduce the possibility of re-injury.

Massage Therapy

The first step of massage therapy is to decrease inflammation. The second most important consideration is to reduce irritating adhesions, then increase circulation to compromised tissue, and maintain range of motion of the affected joint. Restoration of muscle strength and length, are additional goals of massage therapy.
