Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow Treatment New York, NY

Heal Repetitive Strain Tendon Injuries and Regain Your Grip Strength

You don’t have to play sports to suffer from Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis). These conditions are repetitive strain injuries caused by micro-tears in the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to your elbow joint. They are frequently triggered by extensive typing, heavy lifting, or repetitive hand movements, causing a nagging ache and a weakened grip. At New Roots Chiropractic, we utilize advanced soft tissue therapies to accelerate tendon repair.

Advanced Tendon Repair Strategies

Because tendons have a limited direct blood supply, they can easily get stuck in a state of chronic inflammation. We utilize targeted therapies to restart the healing process:

  • IASTM / Graston Technique: Breaking down the dense scar tissue matrix on the elbow bone anchors to promote proper tendon alignment.
  • Cervical & Wrist Alignment: Adjusting the neck and wrist joints to ensure the nerves feeding your forearm muscles are completely free of interference.
  • Eccentric Strengthening Exercises: Training you in specialized rehabilitation movements proven to rebuild tendon thickness and structural strength.

Target Benefits of Our Elbow Recovery Protocols

  • Alleviates localized burning and chronic elbow pain
  • Breaks up restrictive scar tissue accumulations around the tendon anchors
  • Restores natural grip strength for daily activities
  • Resolves compensatory mechanical stress in the wrist and shoulder joints

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow?

Tennis Elbow causes pain on the outside of the elbow from overusing your wrist extensor muscles. Golfer’s Elbow causes pain on the inside of the elbow from overusing your wrist flexor muscles.

Why does elbow tendonitis take so long to heal?

Tendons receive much less blood flow than muscles, which naturally slows down their repair process. Advanced soft tissue treatments like IASTM are vital to stimulate local circulation and speed up healing.
