What Does Tennis Elbow, Golf Elbow and Elbow Tendonitis Have in Common?

At Reimer Chiropractic & Massage Wellness Center, we treat sports injuries including golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, and tendonitis. So what do these injuries have in common? Let us tell you. 

Understanding the Connections in Tennis Elbow, Elbow Tendonitis and Golfer's Elbow 

Obviously, all of these injuries affect the elbow region and can be caused by sports. More to the point, all of these conditions are caused by overuse of muscles, joints, and ligaments in your elbow. So how can you keep your elbow healthy while indulging in your favorite sport as often as you wish? 

The answer: chiropractic. 

These types of injuries occur when you repeatedly use the muscles of your wrist, forearm, and elbow. While commonly caused by repeated forehand and backhand, or tightly gripping the golf club during a swing, they can have non-sports causes too. You could wind up with elbow tendonitis as a result of your work. 

Symptoms of elbow tendonitis, tennis elbow, and golfer's elbow include pain in your hands, forearms, elbow, and upper arm area. The pain usually gets worse when you use your hands. 

Until the underlying cause of the repetitive strain injury is treated, you will experience pain while using your forearm and wrist. Get your elbow pain checked out and treated by a chiropractor who can reduce inflammation and pain. 

How a Chiropractor Treats Overuse Injuries Including Tennis & Golfer's Elbow 

We examine your elbow and identify any misalignments of joints and ligaments that could be contributing to your pain. By gently reversing misalignments with manual adjustments, we can relieve pressure and inflammation. Chiropractic also encourages fresh blood to flow into the area, initiating healing. From the first appointment on, you can expect a reduction in your pain.
