Expert Golfer's Elbow Treatment at Elbow Clinic Dubai
Golfer’s Elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is not just a golfer’s affliction. It’s a painful condition that can affect anyone who performs repetitive hand, wrist, or forearm motions. At Shoulder Clinic Dubai, we’re dedicated to providing you with top-notch care to heal your Golfer’s Elbow, employing a personalized approach that addresses your unique health needs and gets you back to your favorite activities with comfort and ease.
Understanding Golfer's Elbow
Golfer’s Elbow is caused by overuse of the muscles in the forearm that allow you to grip, rotate your arm, and flex your wrist. Repetitive flexing and gripping can create stress and inflammation on the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle, leading to pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow.
Symptoms of Golfer's Elbow
- Pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow
- Stiffness in the elbow
- Weakness in the hands and wrists
- Numbness or tingling that can radiate to the fingers
