Understanding Golfer's Elbow
Golfer's elbow is a common overuse injury that affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, leading to pain and tenderness.
Despite its name, golfer's elbow can occur in individuals who participate in activities that involve repetitive wrist and forearm movements, such as golf, tennis, and weightlifting.
The condition is characterized by pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, weakness in the forearm, and difficulty with gripping and lifting objects.
Prevalence and Common Causes
Golfer's elbow is estimated to affect approximately 1-3% of the population each year, with higher prevalence among individuals who engage in repetitive arm movements.
The most common causes of golfer's elbow include:
Repetitive stress or overuse of the forearm muscles, leading to microtears and inflammation in the tendons attached to the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
Improper technique or equipment in sports activities, such as golf swings or tennis strokes.
Poor ergonomics and repetitive motions in occupational settings, such as typing or assembly line work.

I highly recommend Balance for all your health and longevity goals. I had damaged muscle from a trauma injury that had not healed in three years and through Shockwave and Balance’s comprehensive treatment approach, healed the damaged region. They are extremely customized in their care and it is always a wonderful overall experience.
I was recommended to Balance medical from a local friend here in Colorado as we are visiting from Costa Rica. It was suggested that it may help to have a session in the hyperbaric chamber to help adjust to the altitude.
The entire experience was educational and professional with both Dr Jesi and her husband Dr Jason explaining the process step by step and not only the benefits of what to expect but how your body functions and why this process would help me to climatize to the altitude.
A great experience and can say it really worked for me I was experiencing a slight headache and just kind of worn out. After the one-hour session I was revitalized and had renewed energy and my headache was gone. I have been hiking and climbing since here in the mountains and feel great.
Thank you very much Dr. Jesi and Dr. Jason for your help and professionalism what a great team!
I recently had Dr Jess treat my plantar fasciitis with shock wave therapy. The results are amazing! I had 4-5 treatments about 2 weeks apart. The results are not immediate, but within a few days I had so much relief and after a few treatments the difference is incredible! SO worth it!
10 years ago I broke my leg in two places and had 14 pins, two plates and bone graphed into my tib/fib/ankle, and was told I would deal with arthritis for the rest of my life. Being extremely active in sports, weight lifting, and with my profession I found that movement helped but was almost counter intuitive. I lost nearly 75% range of motion in the joint and became limited in certain abilities in addition to consistent discomfort. I'm now 4 months out from receiving PRP and cellular therapy from Jason, and i have seen a significant improvement in my ability to not only move the joint with gained ROM, but pain and discomfort is nearly non existent after strenuous activities. I used to wake up and find it hard to take the first few steps, which is no longer an issue. I highly recommend considering this treatment to anyone looking to either gain an advantage on maintaining a active lifestyle or simply live day to day with less pain.
