Elbow Pain

Treating Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow with dry needling

Elbow pain is common in people who play golf, tennis or pickleball. I’ve also seen it people who are doing a lot of typing and may or may not have arthritis symptoms as well.

Either way, acupuncture with dry needling can help relieve it quite quickly. Usually elbow pain is the result of overuse of the muscles of the forearm or just having too strong of a grip on the racket or club. Elbow pain or tendonitis can also stem from lifting heavy weights at the gym.

Seeing an acupuncturist is your best bet in treating elbow pain as part of the problem may be stemming from your neck or even your core muscles. Acupuncture treats the body holisitcally as one unit unlike western medicine practitioners like physical therapists and orthopedic MDs. Viewing and treating the entire body’s posture is the best way to achieve long term relief.
