Conditions we treat
Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Treatment in Surrey, BC
Persistent pain on the outside (tennis elbow) or inside (golfer's elbow) of the elbow is a tendon problem — and one that responds well to a considered approach.
What it feels like
- Pain and tenderness right at the bony bump of the elbow
- Worse with gripping, lifting, or twisting (jars, tools, a racquet)
- A weaker, more painful grip
- Ache that lingers after the activity that caused it
Why it happens
These are overload injuries of the forearm tendons where they attach at the elbow — built up over time by repetitive gripping and wrist use at work, in sport, or around the house. They rarely come from a single event, which is why they need more than rest.
How we can help
We assess how the tendon is being loaded across your day — work, sport, hobbies — because managing that load is central to recovery. Your practitioner then builds a care plan around your specific case, reviewed as your elbow responds. These tendon problems are stubborn, but very treatable with the right, patient approach.
Common questions
Do I need a brace or a strap?
A counterforce strap gives some people useful short-term relief while the tendon settles, and it can be worth trying. On its own though, it does not change why the tendon became overloaded, so it belongs inside a plan rather than instead of one.
Why is this taking so long to get better?
Elbow tendons are slow tissue with a modest blood supply, and they get re-loaded by almost every ordinary task — carrying, gripping, typing. Recovery here is commonly measured in months rather than weeks. We will give you an honest read as you go rather than a promised finish line.
