Golfer’s Elbow Treatment in Indore

Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inner side of the elbow due to overuse of the forearm tendons that flex the wrist and fingers. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers effective golfer’s elbow treatment in Indore to relieve pain and restore normal arm function.

About Golfer’s Elbow Treatment

Golfer’s elbow, medically known as medial epicondylitis, occurs when the tendons attaching the forearm flexor muscles to the inner elbow become inflamed or develop small tears from repetitive strain. While associated with golf due to the repetitive swinging motion, it commonly affects people who perform repetitive gripping, throwing, or lifting activities in sports or occupation. Left untreated, golfer’s elbow can lead to chronic pain and reduced grip strength.

Symptoms of Golfer’s Elbow Treatment

• Pain on the inner side of the elbow
• Pain that worsens with wrist flexion or gripping
• Stiffness in the elbow, especially in the morning

• Numbness or tingling in some cases if nerves are involved

Causes of Golfer’s Elbow Treatment

• Repetitive wrist flexion movements
• Golf, throwing sports, or racquet sports with improper technique
• Manual labor involving repetitive gripping
• Age-related tendon degeneration
• Sudden increase in repetitive activity

Diagnosis

• Physical examination with resisted wrist flexion test
• Ultrasound to assess tendon integrity
• MRI in persistent or severe cases
• Assessment of nerve involvement if numbness is present

• Corticosteroid or PRP injections for resistant cases
