Golfer's Elbow Symptoms, Treatments and More
Reviewed: dr. stavarache
Golfer's elbow is a painful condition that develops from repetitive movements of the wrist that involve excessive force, such as swinging a golf club for 18-holes. It's also known as medial epicondylitis. Similar to tennis elbow, Golfer's elbow isn't restricted to individuals who play sports regularly.
It's typical to start with at-home treatment, such as rest, ice and NSAIDs for mild pain relief. However, if pain continues, a trip to the doctor may be necessary to pinpoint the exact cause and start a treatment plan that reduces pain and prevents recurrences.
