Golfer’s Elbow

Understanding and Treating Golfer’s Elbow

Any time repetitive motion is performed, it can result in continual strain and discomfort. Medial epicondylitis, more commonly known as golfer's elbow, can cause pain and inflammation in the tendons connecting the forearm to the elbow. The condition is typically caused by repeated stress from sports or weight training and is similar to tennis elbow. However, while tennis elbow affects the outside of the elbow, golfer's elbow impacts the inside. Neither of these conditions is limited to athletes, though. Today, many cases of tennis and golfer's elbow are due to computer usage and other repetitive strain injuries.


​​​​​​​At our Leander, TX, and Austin-area office locations, we provide a range of treatments for the elbow to relieve your symptoms through physical therapy, medications, or surgery.

I saw Dr Kay for my carpal tunnel symptoms and proceeded with surgery. He was very professional and thorough . The location was great; the process wasn’t stressful at all. He did a great job!!  Thank you Dr Kay and staff.

I injured my shoulder over three years ago and had surgery to fix it (by a different physician). It just got progressively worse and I lived through it for three years.  I finally went to see Dr Seade for a full regular shoulder replacement.  It was an amazing experience!!!  He and his team are phenomenal!  I am going into the third month post surgery and doing strong in my PT.  The pain level is low, only sore muscles when I am doing PT.  A beautiful pain and I am on the trajectory to being me again!  Thanks to Dr. Seade and his amazing team!!!

I messed up my ankle years ago resulting in 2 repairs and an ankle replacement. The replacement was unsuccessful so I went to Dr. Ebert to see what could be done. He took the time to evaluate my condition and informed me that I needed another ankle replacement. Now that the surgery has been completed. I look back with gratitude for a job well done. He left no boxes unchecked and although I still have physical therapy to complete, I feel better than I have in a year. Much thanks to Dr Ebert and his staff!

Just had my third replacement surgery with Dr. Heinrich. Both knees and now a hip. I’ve never had any pain following all three surgeries. Only tightness in the muscles. The pre surgery and post surgery exercises I believe helped me be in the best condition for a pain free recovery. Excellent staff and follow up care.
