Golfer’s Elbow Relief in Oak Creek
Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a painful overuse condition affecting the tendons and muscles on the inner side of the elbow. It develops when repetitive gripping, twisting, or flexing motions cause small tears and inflammation where the forearm tendons attach to the bone. Golfers are far from the only ones affected—plumbers, contractors, chefs, weightlifters, and anyone doing repetitive hand and wrist work can develop it.
At Oak Creek Relief & Wellness, our chiropractic care team looks at the full picture of your arm mechanics to identify what is driving the injury and create a plan to fix it.

How Chiropractic Care Addresses the Root Cause
Pain on the inner elbow is rarely just a local problem. Misalignments in the cervical spine and shoulder can alter how forces travel through the arm, placing disproportionate stress on the medial elbow with every movement. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment through the neck, shoulder, elbow, and wrist, relieving nerve tension and correcting the faulty mechanics that caused the injury in the first place.
Soft Tissue Therapy to Heal the Tendon
Scar tissue and adhesions within the damaged tendon are a major reason golfer’s elbow lingers. Our providers are certified in the Graston Technique, which uses specialized instruments to break down that restrictive tissue and stimulate healthy collagen repair at the injury site.
- Graston Technique helps break down scar tissue and encourage healthy tendon healing.
- Therapeutic ultrasound promotes deep tissue repair at the injury site.
- Massage therapy helps relieve muscular tension throughout the forearm and upper arm.
Kinesio Taping and Rehabilitation for Lasting Results
Kinesio Taping helps reduce inflammation and provides gentle support to the elbow between visits, allowing you to stay active during recovery. Once the acute pain settles, our exercise rehabilitation program rebuilds strength and endurance in the forearm flexors so the injury does not recur.
Our fitness director can also review your movement patterns and activity mechanics to reduce the repetitive stress that led to the condition.
