Treatments
How is golfer's elbow treated?
The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and allow the tendon in the elbow to heal.
- Treatment usually starts with rest, using ice and anti-inflammatory medicines, and trying a physical therapy and exercise program (rehab). Many people get better using these treatments.
- If a few weeks of rest and rehab have not relieved pain, some people get cortisone (steroid) shots. These are shots of medicine into the painful area to reduce swelling. A steroid shot may help relieve pain for a short time.
- If other treatments don't work and you are not getting better, surgery might be an option.
