Golf Elbow Treatment
What is Golf Elbow?
Golf Elbow is an elbow condition that causes elbow pain and most commonly affects professional athletes and active adults. Golf Elbow, also known as Medial Epicondylitis, occurs when excessive strain or repetitive motion causes the tendon connected to the medial epicondyle to become inflamed. These tendons run between the wrist and the medial epicondyle (the inner side of the elbow). This inflammation of the elbow tendon is worsened by wrist and arm motion and can lead to elbow tenderness and elbow pain.
