What causes “golfer’s elbow” pains?

Golfer’s elbow pain results from inflammations that develop due to overloads and intense activity of the wrists and fingers. And the more numerous and continuous these are – the greater the chance of getting golfer’s elbow. The loads and the intense effort exert heavy pressure on the tendons and cause tendon inflammation. Another reason for golfer’s elbow is as the name of the pain suggests, many golfers play with incorrect technique causing damage to their tendons. The result: pain, and in some cases also tears in the tendons and local atrophy.

What does golfer’s elbow pain feel like?

Golfer’s elbow, as opposed to tennis elbow, is felt in the lower part of the elbow and not in the upper part like in tennis elbow. Golfer’s elbow is accompanied by sharp pains, mainly in the inner/lower part of the elbow, sometimes even radiating to the forearm and palm area. These pains start gradually and not suddenly as tennis elbow pains are characterized. You will feel the pain when performing simple, everyday actions, and it becomes aggravated. Sometimes, you will feel stiffness in your fingers and palm and sometimes numbness in your fingers.

How is golfer’s elbow pain diagnosed?

Not every pain in the elbow means inflammation of this type. However, pain that does not go away will require a medical examination – and a diagnosis accordingly. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience swelling, redness, or extreme sensitivity to the touch. In some cases, a physical examination will require a supplement examination, such as an ultrasound examination or additional imaging. Incidentally, a similar pain, which appears precisely in the inner/upper area of the elbow, is called “tennis elbow”.

How long will I experience the pain in my elbow?

Just as it surprised you when it stated, the pain may also disappear spontaneously. The numbers, in regard to self-healing from Golfer’s Elbow, refer to a period of 4-12 moths, with only a minority of cases lasting about 2 years or more. However, even if you have recovered, the syndrome may recur in the future.

How is the pain treated? Is there an advanced device that can help?

As mentioned, the problem may go away by itself. However, in this situation, it is important to rest, but of course – do not completely halt all activity. One of the solutions is to use a brace that allows the forearm area to rest. In any case, you should avoid the actions and movements that cause pain.

Frozen compresses can also provide quite an effective solution (at least 3-4 times a day, for a few minutes each time). Painkillers and even steroid injections may provide additional assistance if needed, along with a referral to physical therapy, and in rare extreme cases, surgical intervention will be required.

As an effective, quick, and simple treatment, it is very worthwhile to consider experimenting with advanced and proven radio wave technology.

how to treat golfers elbow pain

It is important to note that with tennis elbow it takes a longer time to feel a significant improvement, unlike other areas of the body where you can already feel a significant improvement in as little as 4-6 treatments. That is why we recommend continuing the treatment for a month and a half to two months for improvement and relief.

Coordination of expectations: once you locate the correct and most effective area of the treatment, you will feel relief after 10-20 treatments. Treatment should be continued until the pain is reduced.

It is also important to take care to rest the treated area during the treatment days and to avoid overload on the area.
