What is the treatment of golfers elbow?
Golfer’s elbow is usually a self-limited problem, and does not cause any long-term disability. Treatment is rarely surgical, as this condition is well managed with a little rest and proper rehabilitation. Often a change in technique can resolve the problem. Doctors may prescribe mild anti-inflammatory or pain medication. Some simple stretches and exercises can also be helpful in controlling the symptoms of golfer’s elbow. By strengthening the muscles and tendons involved with golfers’ elbow, you can help prevent the problem from returning. Use of elbow support to apply compression to the extensor muscles of the forearm may help to alleviate the symptoms and discomfort caused by golfer’s elbow.
