Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Repetitive wrist or arm movements, like lifting, throwing, or typing
• Overuse of the forearm muscles, especially in sports or physical jobs
• Poor technique during sports or workouts
• Jobs or activities that involve gripping or twisting often
• Weak muscles or bad posture, which can put extra stress on the elbow tendons

What Happens If Left Untreated?

If not treated, golfer’s elbow can lead to long-lasting pain, weak grip, and limited arm movement, making it hard to carry, hold, or lift things.
