Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are two of the most common overuse injuries affecting the arm — both caused by repetitive strain to the tendons that attach at the elbow. Whether the pain is on the outside of the elbow (tennis elbow) or the inside (golfer’s elbow), chiropractic care can offer effective, noninvasive relief.

Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Pain Treatment

At our clinic, we specialize in relieving both tennis and golfer’s elbow through targeted, hands-on care. Our chiropractors use precise adjustments and soft tissue therapies to reduce inflammation, release muscle tension, and restore joint mobility.

By addressing the root causes — such as poor mechanics, tendon irritation, or muscular imbalances — we help you recover faster and avoid recurrence. Whether you’re an athlete, desk worker, or active parent, we can help you regain comfort and strength. Schedule your consultation today.

Therapy Options for Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow

A customized care plan may include a combination of the following evidence-informed therapies:

Our chiropractor specialize in precise manual adjustments aimed at realigning the joints of the elbow. By restoring proper alignment, we alleviate joint dysfunction and reduce nerve compression and muscle irritation.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive technique that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It’s especially effective for stubborn conditions like tennis and golfers elbow, or chronic tendonitis. By increasing blood flow it stimulates tendon healing and break up scar tissue or adhesions. Shockwave therapy helps accelerate recovery and reduce pain without the need for surgery or injections.

To complement our hands-on treatments, we prescribe customized exercises designed to strengthen the muscles supporting the elbow joints and improve overall flexibility. These exercises are tailored to address specific weaknesses or imbalances, helping to reduce the risk of future injuries and promote long-term relief. By incorporating therapeutic exercises into your routine, you can actively participate in your own healing process and optimize the effectiveness of your chiropractic care

IASTM is a technique that involves using a specialized tool to gently scrape the skin, breaking down scar tissue and adhesions in the soft tissues of the forearm and elbow. This helps to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Cupping therapy is a holistic technique that enhances blood flow and reduces muscle tension in the arm. By placing suction cups on the skin, we create a vacuum effect that draws blood to the surface, promoting circulation and facilitating the release of toxins and stagnant energy. This therapy can provide immediate relief from pain and discomfort, making it a valuable addition to our comprehensive treatment approach.

Sports acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points in the muscles of the arm and elbow. This technique targets trigger points and tight muscles, releasing tension and relieving muscle spasms and tendonitis. 

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to restore the flow of energy, or Qi, and alleviate pain. 

Our expert chiropractors offer guidance on ergonomic advice and training adjustments to support optimal elbow health and overall wellness.

What Causes Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow?

Both conditions are typically the result of repetitive use, poor mechanics, or overloaded forearm muscles. While tennis elbow affects the outside of the elbow, golfer’s elbow impacts the inside, but they share many of the same root causes:

If you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness with gripping, or discomfort that radiates into your forearm — don’t wait. Early conservative care can reduce pain, speed healing, and prevent long-term damage.
