Understanding and Managing Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Golfer's elbow, medically known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow. This ailment results from overuse or repetitive stress, leading to microtears in the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle—the bony prominence on the inside of the elbow. While commonly associated with golfers, this condition can affect anyone engaging in activities that involve repetitive wrist and forearm motions.
