Golfer’s elbow: it’s not just for golfers!

As a chiropractor, I often see patients come in with inner elbow pain that’s been nagging them for weeks, especially those who work with their hands, lift weights, or spend long hours typing.

Most are surprised when I say, “That’s golfer’s elbow, and no, you don’t need a set of clubs to get it.”

Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is caused by overuse of the forearm muscles that attach to the inside of your elbow. It’s common in golfers, but also in plumbers, mechanics, rock climbers, and office workers.

Symptoms include:

• Pain or tenderness on the inner elbow
• Stiffness and weakness in the wrist or hand
• Numbness or tingling radiating into the fingers

If elbow pain is limiting your swing, whether it’s on the course, at your desk, or at the gym, it’s worth getting checked out.

Ever notice elbow pain when lifting a coffee mug, turning a doorknob, or typing at your desk?

You might be dealing with tennis elbow…

I recently treated a graphic designer who had been struggling with elbow pain for 4 months. After a few weeks of soft tissue work, joint mobilisation and simple rehab exercises, she was back to pain-free work.

As a chiropractor, I see this kind of thing all the time. Don’t ignore the signs your body is giving you. A little care now can save you a lot of pain later.

If your elbow is yelling at you, it’s time we had a look!

I’m often asked how I came about being a chiropractor….so I’ve written a blog all about it!

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is one of the most common overuse injuries I treat as a chiropractor—yet very few of my patients actually play tennis.

It’s caused by repetitive stress to the forearm and wrist extensors, often from:

- Typing or computer work
- Lifting weights
- Painting or carpentry
- Playing instruments

It’s relatively easy to fix, but can linger if left untreated, so if it’s niggling at you, do something before it gets worse. Drop me a message and we can get you booked in at a time to suit you.

In today's society, I see more and more patients coming to me suffering with tension and pain in their shoulders. We spend so much of our time looking down at our mobile phones, or bending our necks to use a laptop/computer and the impact is a lot of strain on our shoulders. The phrase 'to carry the weight on your shoulders' is real! Our shoulders do, and withstand, a lot!

So here are some simple exercises to help if you're suffering with some tension in your shoulders.

- Doorway shoulder stretch

1. Stand in a doorway with your elbows and arms forming a 90-degree angle
2. Step your right foot forward as you press your palms into the sides of the door frame
3. Lean forward and engage your core. Hold this position for up to 30 seconds
4. Repeat the stretch with your left foot forward
5. Do 2–3 times

- Thread the needle

1 Start on your hands and knees. Lift your right hand up toward the ceiling with your palm facing away from your body
2. Lower your arm to bring it under your chest and over to the left side of your body with your palm facing up
3. Activate your right shoulder and arm to avoid collapsing into this area
4. Keep your left hand on the floor for support, lift it toward the ceiling, or bring it around behind your back
5. Hold this position for up to 30 seconds
6. Rest back on your heels with arms outstretched, before repeating this stretch on the left side

- Across-the-chest stretch

1. Bring your right arm across your chest
2. Place it in the crease of your left elbow or use your left hand to support your arm
3. Hold this position for up to 1 minute
4. Repeat on the opposite side
5. Do each side 3–5 times

I hope these help! Let me know how you get on.

This is a great opportunity to learn about primitive reflexes in a nurturing environment

Calling all therapists - I am launching a new course, an Introduction to Primitive Reflexes, explaining what they are and why they matter to all therapists - wether you’re a counsellor, coach, psychotherapist, OT, physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor, herbalist, homeopath, massage therapist, reflexologist or anything else. Primitive reflexes affect how we function in the world and learning about them can fundamentally change how we see our clients https://www.organisedmind.co.uk/so/e6PSt8IHH?languageTag=en
