Golfer’s elbow isn’t just for golfers. ⛳

Also known as medial epicondylitis, golfer’s elbow affects the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the inside of the elbow. It can develop when repetitive gripping, swinging, lifting or other forceful movements place too much stress on these tendons.

And golf isn’t the only activity that can cause it. Shoveling, gardening, hammering nails, swimming and other repetitive arm movements may also contribute.

Common signs of golfer’s elbow include:
• Pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow
• Pain that may extend down the forearm
• Discomfort when gripping, twisting the forearm or bending the wrist
• Reduced grip strength

Reducing activities that trigger pain, using ice during flare-ups and performing appropriate stretching and strengthening exercises may help relieve symptoms.

If elbow pain persists, worsens or begins interfering with everyday activities, an orthopaedic evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.

Strong bones help you stay active and independent as you age. But how much do you know about your bone health?

Choosing a spine surgeon is an important decision, and trust matters throughout every stage of care.

A recent patient shared:
"He is the best surgeon I have ever met. Very concerned and caring demeanor and bedside manner. He takes great care of me and I value his professionalism and honesty with medical advice. In 2020 he did a minimally invasive L4 S1 lumbar spinal fusion on me and I still go to him when I need maintenance care of my spine. I am truly thankful to have met him and to have him on my care team."
- Recent patient, 2026
