San Francisco Chiropractor and Carpal Tunnel Doctor Comments:
Golfer's elbow is very common...with beginners...and experts. The Mayo Clinic describes golfer's elbow like this:
Golfer's elbow — also known as medial epicondylitis — is pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow, where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of the elbow (medial epicondyle). The pain may spread into your forearm and wrist.
Golfer's elbow is similar to tennis elbow. But it occurs on the inside — rather than the outside — of the elbow. And it's not limited to golfers. Tennis players and others who repeatedly use their wrists or clench their fingers can develop golfer's elbow.
The pain of golfer's elbow doesn't have to keep you off the course or away from your favorite activities. With rest and appropriate treatment, you can get back into the swing of things.
The article goes on to describe the signs and symptoms of golfers elbow, the risk factors, and treatment methods...which do not include chiropractic...interesting.
The thing is...one of the first stops a professional golfer in the know makes when he/she has a bout of golfers elbow, is to the chiropractor. Many golf professionals have a chiropractor on tour with them...it just makes sense.
Sure, not all chiropractors know how to treat the elbow, but there are many that do...including me. Personally, I have adjusted thousands of elbows...often times when patients had tried everything else, and had been suffering for years. You need to do a little homework and make sure you find an expert, but if you do...it can seem like magic when the pain goes away. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
If you live or work in the San Francisco Bay Area, and would like to find out if you are a candidate for care...please call 415-392-2225 and ask for a complimentary consultation at our Financial District Chiropractic Center.
