Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow Treatment in Woodstock
Gentle Care for Elbow Pain Caused by Repetitive Strain
Tennis and Golfer’s elbow aren’t just for athletes — they can affect anyone with repetitive strain on the forearm and elbow.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) are common repetitive strain injuries. They occur when overuse of the forearm muscles causes irritation and inflammation where tendons attach to the elbow. While athletes may be more prone, these conditions often affect people in occupations or hobbies involving repeated gripping, lifting, or twisting movements.
At The Woodstock Chiropractor, we provide safe and effective treatment to reduce pain, restore strength, and prevent flare-ups. Whether your symptoms come from sport, work, or everyday activities, we’ll tailor care to your specific needs.
Common Symptoms of Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
Pain or Tenderness – discomfort on the inside or outside of the elbow.
Stiffness – difficulty bending or straightening the arm comfortably.
Grip Weakness – reduced strength when shaking hands, holding objects, or making a fist.
Wrist Weakness – loss of power when lifting or twisting the wrist.
Pain with Repetition – symptoms that worsen with repeated movements.
Numbness or Tingling – occasional pins and needles in the hand or fingers.
Radiating Pain – discomfort spreading from the elbow into the forearm.

Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow — Common Questions
Here are some of the questions we’re often asked about elbow pain and how chiropractic care may help.
What is the difference between tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow?
Tennis elbow affects the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondylitis), while golfer’s elbow affects the inside of the elbow (medial epicondylitis). Both are caused by overuse of the forearm muscles.
Can I get tennis or golfer’s elbow without playing sports?
Yes. These conditions often affect people who do repetitive tasks at work or home, such as plumbing, carpentry, typing, or lifting heavy objects.
How can chiropractic care help with elbow pain?
Chiropractic care helps by reducing tension in muscles and tendons, restoring alignment, and improving strength. Treatment also includes advice to avoid activities that may aggravate the injury.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury. With proper care, many patients start to notice improvements within weeks, though full recovery may take longer for long-standing cases.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for elbow injuries?
Yes. All treatments are gentle, safe, and tailored to your individual needs. We always explain the process clearly so you feel comfortable and confident.
Will the pain come back?
If the underlying cause isn’t addressed, pain may return. Our care includes rehabilitation exercises and ergonomic advice to help prevent recurrence and support long-term recovery.
