Lateral/Medial Epicondylitis

Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow respectively. The suffix – it means inflammation. You don’t have to play tennis or golf to get this condition. We see it frequently in weight lifters that are pushing heavy weight doing bicep curls. The tendinous attachment point of the extensor and flexor muscles at the elbow become inflamed with repeated use. We treat this with deep tissue muscle work utilizing the Graston instruments. Ultrasound therapy is also helpful in treating lateral and medial epicondylitis.
