Overuse of the Elbow in Sports: Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow

Overuse of the elbow during sports like tennis or golf can lead to painful inflammations known as Tennis Elbow or Golfer’s Elbow. These conditions are common among athletes or individuals who perform repetitive movements that strain the tendons and muscles around the elbow.

Common Symptoms

• Pain around the elbow joint, particularly when moving the arm.
• Weakness in grip strength.
• Difficulty performing daily activities that require arm use.

Diagnosis and Treatment at RadCare

At RadCare, we utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify the cause of elbow pain, including:

1. X-Ray:
   • To assess bone health and rule out other conditions.
2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
   • To evaluate the extent of damage to the surrounding tissues and tendons.
3. Ultrasound:
   • To detect inflammation and swelling in soft tissues.

Treatment Plan

1. Physical Therapy:
   • Exercises to improve muscle flexibility and strength.
2. Medication:
   • Anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
3. Medical Interventions:
   • In severe cases, treatments like injections or surgical procedures may be recommended.

At RadCare, we are committed to providing specialized and comprehensive care to ensure accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan that restores patients’ ability to perform daily activities pain-free.
