Golfer’s elbow is a common term used to describe a painful medical condition called medial epicondylitis. It is caused by overuse of a group of muscles in the forearm that attach to a common tendon on the inside of the elbow joint. These muscles are responsible for flexing the fingers, hand and elbow.

Repetitive stress on these muscles and the tendon cause the tissues to become inflamed, leading to pain and discomfort. Golfer’s elbow is very similar to tennis elbow; however, golfer’s elbow affects the inside of the elbow, whereas tennis elbow affects the outside of the elbow.

Golfer’s elbow is not always caused by playing golf. Actually, various movements involved with other activities, such as tennis or other racquet sports, can also lead to golfer’s elbow. This condition is not only confined to athletes; many repetitive movements that involve using your hands, elbow and arm, such as painting, hammering, and cooking can also cause golfer’s elbow.

Cold Laser Therapy often reduces recovery time from golfer’s elbow by 50%, allowing you to regain mobility and eliminate pain.

Regenerates Muscle Tissue:
Transfers light energy to the affected cells of muscle, regenerating and strengthening damaged muscle tissue to prevent future injury.

Decreases Inflammation:
Speeds up the body's natural inflammation phase and induces the repair phase of healing.

Removes Internal Scar Tissue:
Inhibits and removes Internal Scar Tissue that naturally forms after an injury and can cause discomfort and a delay in healing.

Nerve Regeneration:
Helps damaged nerves to recover by growing the neural network and repairing vital insulation around the nerve.

Stimulates Blood Flow:
Increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the affected cells.
