Golf and tennis players are prone to specific sports injuries due to repetitive stress. Injuries like tennis and golf elbow are not typically dangerous, but they can put you out of commission for a while. We understand that getting back into the game fast is important, so we offer regenerative medicine, pain management, and other treatments to help you feel better quickly.
What Causes Tennis and Golf Elbow?
As their names suggest, tennis and golf elbow are caused by repetitive arm movements while playing the respective sports. Repetitive stress, often by forceful wrist and finger motions, can make the elbow feel stiff. In these injuries, hands and wrists may feel weak as well.
Services for Tennis and Golf Elbow
The RICE method, or “rest, ice, compression, elevation,” is excellent for addressing sports injuries. Additionally, regenerative therapies can prove effective in improving your condition quickly. Physical therapy can help you employ proper recovery techniques and stretches to prevent future injuries. All of these services are offered here at Global Clinic.

Through symptom and pain management, mobility exercises, and other personalized care regimens, you can decrease or eliminate elbow pain and restore mobility.

It takes about six weeks to recover from golf elbow fully. This time can be reduced with proper therapy and treatment techniques. In most cases, surgery isn’t required to address this injury. While in treatment, we recommend you take it easy and take proper steps toward helping your body recover.
