Golfer’s Elbow & Tennis Elbow

Golfer’s Elbow & Tennis Elbow

What Causes Golfer’s Elbow & Tennis Elbow?

The answer is simple- overuse, which is why bakers, cooks, plumbers and carpenters suffer from the tendon ailments as well.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial epicondylitis)

The telltale symptom of Golfer’s Elbow is a nagging pain in the inner elbow, often with radiating pain along the forearm. The cause is believed to be increasing the grip on the club. It can also occur among tradespeople who work with their hands and weight lifters. Stiffness and weakness may also occur, and sometimes people feel tingling into the hand that may mimic carpal tunnel syndrome. Golfer’s Elbow is caused by an increased gripping motion that stresses the tendons and muscles of the forearm.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral epicondylitis)

The symptom that best defines Tennis Elbow is an annoying pain on the outer side of the elbow that shoots down to the forearm. The extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon may be partially torn, or may have been completely torn and is growing back on its own. You may also feel pain when you move your wrist up and down while keeping the elbow steady.

How does Dr. Greenberg’s team diagnose an injured Golfer’s Elbow and Tennis Elbow?

Dr. Greenberg and his team will review your medical history and perform a Comprehensive Kinetic Diagnosis. We will examine and palpitate the damaged elbow and test for system-wide joint injury, including cartilage, tendon, nerves and arm muscles. The shoulder is palpated to test for poor dynamics, which can lead to premature wear of the elbow joint. Only by looking at the big picture and assessing the kinetic dysfunction can a sound diagnosis and treatment program be established. Treatments may include stretching and strength training exercises that carefully stress the tendons. Usually, surgery is not needed.

Is there a regenerative therapy for Golfer’s Elbow and Tennis Elbow?

Dr. Greenberg may recommend the unique Kinetic Regeneration Therapy for your elbow. It includes Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Infusions and Stem Cell Treatments. Dr. Greenberg has found PRP treatments to be effective for regenerating worn elbows. The treatments activate the body’s natural regeneration system which includes components like stem cells, pericytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and macrophages which work together to regenerate soft tissue and strengthen the entire elbow.

Before any treatment, Dr. Greenberg and his team will review the optimal treatment plan designed to help you improve your elbow’s functionality. You may require several treatments performed every few weeks.

Kinetic Regeneration Therapy is an excellent choice for people who are looking for a non-invasive alternative to surgery. KRT has lower infection risks, shorter recovery times and is opioid-free.

Dr. Greenberg is a holistically-centered physician who not only treats the structural issues of your elbow injury, but he also addresses You. We work with you through your recovery by recommending nutritional strategies, supplements and innovative therapies to nurture a sense of wellness for your body and mind.

Patient Testimonials

Greenberg Regenerative Medicine encourages you to read about the countless success stories our patient’s have reported over the years.
With hesitation or reservation, my experience with Dr. Greenberg has been exceptional. He is without a doubt one of the most brilliant and skilled physicians I know. He was able to diagnose and treat my spinal and neuromuscular injuries successfully. Dr. Greenberg gave me hope (and healed my pain) where there was otherwise no option but surgery. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Greenberg to my friends, family and anyone who suffers from chronic pain. In addition, his staff is delightful and accommodating!

My fiance' has spent the past few years going back and forth to different doctors who have been unable to help her. A family friend recommended Dr Greenberg and on the first visit he corrected her pelvic tilt and gave her more pain relief without drugs than years of pain killers have been able to do. She now has a diagnosis , a treatment plan , and has shown massive improvements. Dr Greenberg fixes the source of the problem and not just the symptoms of the problem. He has a unique ability to examine her and with pinpoint accuracy is able to find the spot that is causing her pain without her having to tell him , any other doctor has needed long explanations to find her problems and none of them have been able to improve them but Dr Greenberg has. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Greenberg to anyone with chronic or sports related injuries and pain.

Dr. Greenberg is an exceptional physician. I have spent many years going to the best hospitals (HSS, Columbia-Pres., NYU) in search of root cause to my physical ailments. Dr. Greenberg is 2 hrs away, yet I found the trip easy, because I knew, after my initial consultation that Dr. Greenberg is the most empathetic, concerning and knowledgeable physician I've encountered. He is truthful, transparent and has incredible bedside manners. After 3 treatments, my back is now in great condition and no more issues--allowing me to live life to the fullest extent!
Doug C.
Dr. Greenberg is exceptional. He spent 30 minutes listening to me explain my pain issues and thoughtfully examines my body unlike other doctors. He was methodical and explained why things were occurring and treated me. Dr. Greenberg treated me over the course of 3 visits. He is empathetic, caring and so down to earth. A gem of a person and a doctor that truly knows holistic medicine!
Doug S.
Dr. Greenberg has literally been my savior. I had years of terrible low/SIJ pain after an injury. I tried every treatment under the sun, but nothing worked, until I found Dr. Greenberg. He actually took to the time to evaluate my body as a whole, my movements, my history, and my story, whereas other doctors just fixated on imagery. After about 2-3 treatments with Dr. Greenberg, I had restored hope that I was going to get better. I'm now virtually pain free in my lower back. He saved me.

I've been under Dr. Greenberg's care for 5 months now. When I started with him, my major complaint was a hip that would go out often and bad low back pain. I was experiencing shooting sciatic pain and spent a lot of time in bed. Now in June 2020, my hip is completely pain free. The PRP and prolotherapy have literally changed my life. I'm able to take daily walks and feel the best I have in a long, long time. Dr. Greenberg has helped me so much, he has earned my trust and appreciation!
