  1. Golfer's Elbow VS Tennis Elbow – See How Regenerative Treatment Works!

  2. You don't have to be Tiger Woods or Roger Federer to have elbow problems. Even if you have not played tennis or golf, you can still develop Golfer's Elbow or Tennis Elbow. • Both these injuries occur due to strenuous activities that involve elbow overuse. The repetitive movement of the wrist and arm leads to an elbow injury. • However, the difference between these two conditions lies in the area where the Elbow is inflamed. • Let us go through their causes, symptoms, and treatment methods. • Both Golfer's Elbow and Tennis Elbow are two forms of epicondylitis. • Epicondylitis refers to an inflammation of tendons attached to the elbow portion. • Golfer's Elbow affects the medial (inside part) epicondyle. • Tennis Elbow affects the lateral (outside part) epicondyle.

  3. What Is Golfer's Elbow? • Golfer's Elbow, or medial epicondylitis, irritates the inner side of the Elbow and arm. • This elbow injury occurs due to activities that involve frequent flexing or twisting of the wrist. Even the overuse of the forearm muscles contributes to this condition. • Activities including shovelling, gardening, playing tennis or golf can lead to Golfer's Elbow. Frequent lifting, where you extend the Elbow, and your palm is facing down, can also cause this injury. • Other strenuous activities like playing racquet sports, baseball or softball, carpentry, painting, weightlifting, and other similar activities play a vital role in developing this condition.

  4. Golfer's Elbow symptoms include pain on the internal part of the Elbow while lifting the wrist or hand, pain while twisting the forearm, or making a fist. • The affected area may be slightly swollen or tender while touching. • If this issue continued for more than a few weeks, further symptoms like weakness in the wrist or hands and stiffness in the Elbow would also arise.

  5. What Is Tennis Elbow? • Tennis Elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is joint in adults aged between 30-50. • Again, it is an overuse injury that involves muscle strain causing inflammation on the outer part of the Elbow and the forearm. • These muscles become inflamed with repeated use due to overwork. • Hence, carpenters, plumbers, and painters are more prone to Tennis Elbow. • Seasonal activities like gardening, raking, and cutting wood may also contribute to this condition as well.

  6. Tennis Elbow's symptoms include pain that may radiate from the outside portion of the Elbow to the wrist and forearm.   • This pain can be constant in the elbow area. You may also feel it when you perform activities that involve grasping, reaching, and lifting.   • Hence, it is mandatory to consult a physician to ensure that you get a correct diagnosis regarding the cause of your pain.

  7. Treatment for Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow • Immediate Home Treatment Rest your wrist and Elbow in an elevated position for several weeks may lead to an improvement in pain and swelling. Apply ice on the affected area and wear compression bandages to reduce pain as well as swelling. Activity modification and physical therapy that involves strengthening exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist may also work well. Wearing an elbow brace can also redirect the pressure over your elbow muscles. Hence, it is possible to promote healing without limiting blood flow. Consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers can also help. However, you should seek medical attention from your physician in this regard.

  8. Regenerative treatment  Regenerative treatment is an option Unlike other treatment modalities, regenerative treatment can treat the underlying cause and not just mask the symptoms. It can repair the affected tissues naturally and restores healthy tissue. Furthermore, regenerative treatment involves only your cells. There is no risk of allergy or rejection. Moreover, our Medica stem cells clinic experts who offer regenerative cell therapy in the UK recommend it as a standalone service or along with nutritional advice or physical therapy.
