What is Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s elbow is a condition that most commonly affects golfers but can affect anyone who regularly performs repetitive arm motions.
It may be caused by many different factors such as using the incorrect technique when swinging a golf club or playing tennis, overuse from throwing sports like cricket and baseball, or even from performing duties at work such as typing on a keyboard too much.
Golfer’s elbow is felt at the inside of the elbow and is caused by a strain to the tendons and ligaments around the medial epicondyle (the bony bump on your arm).
What Causes Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s elbow can be caused by a number of things, but the main reason is overuse of the muscles in the forearm. It can happen when an individual performs actions such as typing on a keyboard, throwing sports like cricket and baseballs, or even just playing tennis too much!

How We Treat Golfer’s Elbow
At Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy we use an integrated approach when it comes to treating golfer’s elbow. We use a combination of physical therapy care, chiropractic care, exercise therapy, joint mobilizations and laser therapy.
Physical therapy Care
Your physiotherapist will assess your condition and develop an individual treatment plan.
Treatment usually starts by easing pain with massage or joint mobilisation, before moving on to a rehabilitation programme of strengthening exercises.
Exercise Therapy
Your rehabilitation programme will focus on strengthening the muscles that support the inside of the elbow.
Once this has been completed, we can then progress onto sport-specific exercises that are designed for your specific needs including sports like golf or tennis.
Where you also have neck pain, manual therapy may be included.
Laser Therapy
We also offer laser therapy for golfer’s elbow. This is a non-invasive treatment that uses light. The evidence for it is mixed, and results vary.
