Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golf elbow (medial epicondylitis) are conditions that cause pain due to inflammation in the muscles and tendons caused by overuse of the elbow. These symptoms can occur not only in sports but also through repetitive actions in daily life, such as computer work, lifting heavy objects, or household chores.
If these symptoms are left untreated, they can interfere with daily life, and recovery may take time.
At our clinic, we provide the following treatments to help alleviate elbow pain:
Elbow pain can be caused by excessive tension in the muscles connecting the wrist to the elbow. Through osteopathic treatment, we effectively relax the muscles of the forearm and upper arm, promoting blood circulation to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Misalignment of the elbow, wrist, or shoulder joints can place excessive strain on specific muscles. By balancing the skeletal structure through osteopathic adjustments, we reduce strain on the elbow and promote quicker recovery.
To reduce strain on the elbow, we provide guidance on self-care through stretching and strength training. Performing appropriate exercises can help prevent recurrence of pain.
To prevent worsening elbow pain, it’s important to be mindful of proper movements. At our clinic, we also offer advice on posture that minimizes strain on the elbow, as well as tips on the use of taping or braces to provide additional support.
If left untreated, tennis elbow and golf elbow can become chronic, and recovery may take longer. By seeking appropriate care early, pain can be reduced, and a smoother recovery is possible. If you’re suffering from elbow pain, we invite you to try our osteopathic treatments. With professional care, you can enjoy sports and daily life more comfortably!
