Golfer's Elbow
Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and inflammation on the inside of the elbow due to repetitive motions or overuse of the forearm muscles. While commonly associated with golfing, this condition can affect anyone engaged in repetitive wrist and arm movements. At Health First Wellness in Schaumburg, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments to alleviate pain and promote healing.
