Golfer's Elbow Treatment in New Braunfels, TX

 

Golfer's elbow — pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow — isn't limited to golfers. We see it just as often in people who type all day, lift weights, or do repetitive work with their hands and wrists. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, we treat the joint dysfunction and muscle overload that cause it, not just the sore spot.

 

What Causes Golfer's Elbow?

Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) develops when the tendons connecting your forearm muscles to the inside of your elbow become irritated from repetitive stress. Common contributors include:

• Repetitive gripping or wrist-flexing motions

• Poor swing mechanics in golf, throwing sports, or racquet sports

• Manual labor or repetitive computer use

• Sudden increases in training volume or intensity

 

Left unaddressed, it tends to get worse with continued use rather than resolve on its own.

 

How We Treat It

Treatment starts with identifying why the tendon is overloaded — often a combination of local tendon irritation and upstream issues in the elbow, wrist, or shoulder joint mechanics. Our approach typically combines:

• Joint adjustments to the elbow and wrist to restore normal movement

• Soft tissue work to reduce tension in the forearm flexor muscles

• Dry needling or cupping for deeper muscle release where appropriate

• Targeted rehab exercises to rebuild tendon resilience and prevent recurrence

 

Most patients see meaningful improvement within several weeks of consistent care — without injections or surgery.
