Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a painful condition that affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow. Despite its name, it is not limited to golfers – anyone who performs repetitive wrist or arm movements, such as athletes, manual workers, or even office professionals, can develop this condition. At Samaira Ortho & Gynae Care, KPHB, Hyderabad, we provide specialized care for diagnosing and treating Golfer’s Elbow, helping patients regain strength and mobility.

What is Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s Elbow is caused by overuse or strain of the forearm muscles, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced grip strength. The pain is usually felt on the inner side of the elbow and may extend down the forearm.

Common Symptoms

• Pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow

• Stiffness and difficulty in bending the elbow

• Weak grip strength and discomfort while lifting objects

• Pain worsening with repetitive activities like throwing, typing, or lifting weights

Diagnosis and Treatment
At our clinic, diagnosis begins with a detailed physical examination and, if needed, X-rays or scans to rule out other issues.

Treatment options include:

• Rest and activity modification to reduce strain on the elbow

• Medications for pain relief and inflammation control

• Physiotherapy to strengthen forearm muscles and improve flexibility

• Supportive braces to ease pressure on the tendons

• Minimally invasive procedures or surgery in severe or long-standing cases
