Expert Epicondylitis (Golfer Elbow) Treatment in London
Restore arm strength and relieve pain with advanced epicondylitis treatment at our London clinic. We provide non-surgical care for golfer’s elbow, tailored to your condition and recovery goals.
What Is Epicondylitis (Golfer Elbow)?
Golfer’s elbow, medically known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain where the tendons of your forearm attach to the medial epicondyle, the bony lump on the inside of your elbow. This pain and tenderness may radiate along the inner side of your elbow, sometimes accompanied by numbness or tingling in the affected arm.
Despite the name, this condition isn’t limited to golfers—golfer’s elbow occurs in people performing daily activities involving repetitive arm, wrist, or hand motions. Swinging a golf club, lifting objects, or even typing can increase the risk of injury. In some cases, a visible lump may develop from swelling near the tendon attachment.
Our golfer's elbow treatment in London addresses the full range of golfer’s elbow symptoms, whether you're newly diagnosed or have experienced recurring pain after failed treatment.
What Can Golfer’s Elbow Treatment Address?
Our epicondylitis treatment is designed to target pain and inflammation, tendon degeneration, and swelling around the elbow joint. We treat:
- Acute Tendon Inflammation: Often caused by activities that involve repetitive arm motion, such as sports or physical labor.
- Chronic Medial Epicondylitis: Persistent pain that may worsen with certain movements or not respond to standard rest.
- Golfer’s Elbow with Lump Formation: Linked to bursal swelling or elbow bursitis that may cause discomfort around the elbow.
- Post-Traumatic or Post-Surgical Elbow Pain: Especially when pain or swelling continues despite prior treatment.
- Persistent Elbow Dysfunction: Involving tendons in your forearm, affecting your ability to grip or perform specific exercises.
Each golfer’s elbow treatment plan is tailored to reduce pain, restore range of movement, and support full function of your forearm and wrist.

- Manual Therapy: Relieves pressure on the medial epicondyle and helps restore the function of the muscles and tendons.
- Therapeutic Ultrasound & Shockwave Therapy: Encourages healing in areas affected by damage or small tears.
