Physiotherapy might help to reduce pain and inflammation while speeding up the healing process. Physiotherapy techniques might include:
Education on proper sports techniques or golf swing to stay clear from recurrence
- Elbow tapping or Golfer's Elbow strap
- Massage to alleviate tightness and tension in the forearm muscles
- Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
- Pain relief and tissue repair treatments such as Ultrasound, electrical stimulation of the nerves, and heat therapy
- Putting ice on the elbow to reduce inflammation
- Resting the elbow
- Stretching and strengthening exercises for the elbow muscles
- Your doctor might use steroid injections as treatment if the treatment above shows ineffective. Surgery will be an option if all treatments have not been responsive.
