Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) are common overuse injuries that result from repetitive stress to the tendons in the forearm. These conditions cause pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the elbow and forearm, making daily tasks and physical activities challenging. Whether caused by sports, repetitive work motions, or other physical activities, these conditions can greatly impact your quality of life.
At Lifestyle Healthcare, we provide advanced, non-invasive treatments to address golfer’s and tennis elbow. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent future injuries through a combination of innovative therapies and personalized care.
Causes: Overuse and repetitive motion can lead to tiny tears in the tendons, causing pain and inflammation.
Treatment: Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating blood flow and accelerating the healing of damaged tendons. This non-invasive therapy reduces pain, promotes tissue repair, and restores mobility, making it an effective treatment for elbow conditions.
Causes: Tendon inflammation is a primary source of pain in golfer’s and tennis elbow.
Treatment: Class IV laser therapy uses focused light energy to reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and stimulate tissue repair at a cellular level. This therapy alleviates pain, accelerates recovery, and helps patients return to their activities faster.
Causes: Chronic cases of golfer’s and tennis elbow may involve significant tendon damage that requires regenerative treatment.
Treatment: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections utilize concentrated growth factors from your blood to stimulate tendon repair. This natural treatment promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the affected tendons for long-term relief and improved function.
Causes: Weak or imbalanced muscles in the forearm and elbow contribute to tendon strain and injury.
Treatment: Physical therapy focuses on targeted exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles surrounding the elbow, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. Customized rehabilitation programs help restore strength and function while reducing the risk of recurrence.
