Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Treatment
Degeneration of the common flexor tendon on the inside of the elbow.
Overview
What Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Actually Is
The mirror image of tennis elbow, affecting the tendons that flex the wrist and fingers. Because the ulnar nerve runs immediately behind this area, the exam must separate tendon pain from nerve irritation before treatment.
Symptoms patients describe
- Pain on the inside of the elbow
- Pain gripping, throwing, or swinging
- Tenderness on the inner bony point of the elbow
- Discomfort with wrist flexion against resistance
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.
