Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylopathy is an injury to the inside of the elbow (medial epicondyle) where the wrist flexors attach. Golfer’s elbow can come from a variety of causes. Often there is repetitive inward force on the elbow, overload of the wrist flexors, trauma, improper healing from activity or excessive stretching.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylopathy is irritation of the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle) where the wrist extensor muscles attach. Tennis elbow comes from repetitive overuse of the wrist extensors with improper healing time.

Little League Elbow

Little league elbow is a progression of overuse injuries that affects the inside elbow of children and adolescents. The act of overhead throwing creates compression on the outside of the elbow and distraction on the inside. This distraction force over time starts to create an overstretching of the ligament that stabilizes the inside of the elbow.

Pronator Teres Syndrome

Pronator teres syndrome is a group of symptoms that comes from compression of the median nerve by the pronator teres muscle at the elbow. This entrapment of the nerve is associated with prolonged or repetitive forearm pronation and finger flexion.
