Golfer�s elbow is a condition that affects far more than those that golf regularly. According to Dynamic Chiropractic, golfer�s elbow can affect violinists, construction workers, tennis players, bikers and more. It’s more an expression similar to tennis elbow.
Anyone who overuses the elbow can find themselves with pain inside the forearm and elbow, pain that is unlikely to go away without treatment.
While medication and surgery can be options for treatment, chiropractic provides a non-invasive, effective way to relieve golfer�s elbow without the side-effects that come with surgery and medications.
What is it?
The joint and muscles on the inside of your elbow are activated during so many activities�pretty much every time you squeeze, grip or throw something, you use them. Even when you are doing less athletic activities like texting or typing at a keyboard, you are activating the muscles, tendons, and ligaments surrounding your elbow. It is not surprising that they can be overused, especially during work activities or leisure activities that you love so much you play all the time.
Golfer�s elbow is considered an overuse injury�an injury caused by using one or more parts of the body so much that they cannot recover quickly enough. Inflammation becomes constant, scar tissue can develop and pain becomes a regular problem.
How Chiropractic Helps Golfer�s Elbow
Chiropractic care is ideal for the treatment of golfer�s elbow. For some sufferers, coming to the chiropractor is the first and obvious choice. For others, going to the doctor is the first place they start.
Once they find that prescription medications are not alleviating the problem, they may be presented with the idea of surgery. Most people are hesitant to go through surgery if they do not have to, which is understandable. They reach out to a chiropractor because they are looking for an alternative that will help them heal without the pain and uncertainty that surgery brings.
At the chiropractor, you will find non-invasive, drug-free treatments that work to return your range of motion, reduce inflammation and break up the scar tissue in the soft tissues surrounding your elbow joint.
Chiropractic Treatment
Once you visit a chiropractor you will be given a careful, thorough physical examination to determine the nature of your problem and its cause. With golfer�s elbow, the problem is fairly obvious, so your chiropractor will focus on understanding exactly what your golfer�s elbow consists of�including your level of pain, your range of motion and the effects it is having on your day-to-day movement.
Some of the ways chiropractic can treat golfer�s elbow include:
Break Scar Tissue Up
Scar tissue keeps your muscles from operating correctly and causes pain. Chiropractors have methods for breaking up scar tissue to return normal muscle function, including active release.
Returns Mobility
Joint manipulation from your chiropractor is designed to make your joints move properly. The chiropractor will gently move your elbow back and forth to realign it and to ensure that it goes as far as it should go, and no further.
Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation is what causes much of the pain you are experiencing in your elbow. Joint adjustments and breaking up scar tissue are excellent ways to reduce inflammation. As the inflammation reduces the body can heal more easily and the pain will lessen.

An adductor muscle strain is characterized as an acute injury to the muscles of the groin. Although a variety of muscles in the human body can be injured, the adductor longus, medius, magnus, and the gracilis are some of the most well-known muscle groups to be affected by an injury.� Strains are muscle tears which generally occur due to the powerful contraction of the muscles against resistance, often during what is referred to as an eccentric load. � �
An eccentric load describes some muscle contraction while the muscle is lengthening, versus concentric, where the muscle is shortening during some muscle contraction. Most weight-lifting exercises and physical activities involve concentric contraction. By way of instance, bench press involves eccentric contraction. Moreover, tears can occur at the origin of the muscle, at the muscle-tendon junction, or inside the belly of the muscle(s). Tears most frequently happen at the muscle-tendon junction. The least common tendon injury occurs at the region of its bony attachment. �
Adductor muscle strains may be graded I-III depending upon their seriousness. A grade I injury involves a moderate strain with some pain and discomfort, tenderness, and bleeding, but no fiber disruption. The adductor muscle’s overall integrity is maintained although a Grade II injury involves further damage. A grade III injury involves disruption resulting in a loss of tendon integrity. Most adductor muscle strains are considered to be grade I or II injuries. �
Causes and Symptoms of an Adductor Strain
As previously mentioned above, an adductor muscle strain occurs during acute muscle contraction, such as during kicking, pivoting or skating. Factors which can predispose a person to injury include failure to properly stretch or warm up and fatigue from overuse. The risk of experiencing an adductor strain increases with sports involving strides like sprinting, soccer, and hockey. Sports with repeated movements like football, martial arts, and gymnastics can also substantially increase the risk of experiencing an adductor strain. Struggling to warm up, stretch or be properly conditioned can also cause injury. �
The symptoms associated with an adductor muscle strain most commonly involve a variety of painful symptoms which are most frequently related to other types of muscle strain. Common symptoms of an adductor muscle strain include a sudden onset of pain and discomfort, occasionally accompanied by the feeling of a pop in the inner section of the thigh as well as the inability to maintain action after the first onset of painful symptoms. Because an adductor strain may cause groin or hip pain, many patients and healthcare professionals may confuse this type of injury with sciatica or sciatic nerve pain. �
Diagnosis and Treatment for an Adductor Strain
A healthcare professional can diagnose an adductor muscle strain through the patient’s medical history and a physical evaluation. Clinical findings include tenderness to palpation or touch, bruising through the inner thigh, as well as swelling and heat within the region of the injury. With acute tears, there might be a palpable defect over the area of the injury. Motion testing of the hip is normal, however, pain generally occurs while the patient is asked to contract the muscles. In these cases, asking the patient to bring their leg towards midline can ultimately cause pain and is generally accompanied by weakness. �
X-rays are often not utilized to diagnose an adductor muscle strain, however, they are appropriate in instances in which there are tenderness at the site of bony insertion or in young patients and/or athletes. In children, the attachment sites of a muscle and/or tendon are weaker and vulnerable to fracture. MRI can provide the precise location of an injury and the extent might help estimate return to play, or in rare cases, help identify any other cases which may require surgical interventions. �
Many adductor muscle strains respond positively to conservative treatment. The utilization of ice therapy and anti-inflammatory medicine are appropriate for acute muscle strains. As symptoms improve, stretching and exercises are generally not recommended. The healthcare professional may suggest a physical therapy program. Surgery may be required for adductor muscle tendon tears. Repair entails an open incision within the site of injury and reattachment of the tendon. Surgery is also essential in patients who have chronic pain whose symptoms don’t respond to conservative therapy. �
What is Adductor Tendinopathy?
Adductor tendinopathy is generally characterized as pain on palpation of the adductor tendons, adduction of the legs and/or of the injured leg. Pain can develop gradually or cause a sudden and severe, sharp pain. A swelling or a lump may also be experienced from the adductor muscle(s), stiffness at the groin area or an inability to contract or extend the adductors. In acute cases, exercises and physical activities will be restricted because the tendon can’t sustain repeated tensile loading. �
�
Causes and Symptoms of Adductor Tendinopathy
The adductors are triggered in many sports such as, running, soccer, horse riding, gymnastics, and swimming. The repetitive movements and the continuous change of direction in physical activities activate the adductor tendon, which makes athletes more prevalent to develop adductor tendinopathy and other groin injuries. Other causes of adductor tendinopathy can include over-stretching of the adductor tendons or a sudden increase in training, especially in the type of training. �
Adductor tendinopathy may occur due to considerable leg length discrepancy which affects gait pattern. Poor or abnormal movement patterns may also overly stress the adductor tendons. Muscular length gaps, strength imbalances or muscular weakness in the thoracic or the abdominals can also be powerful in developing adductor tendinopathy. Other causes include a failure to properly warm-up, inactivity, fatigue, obesity, age-related weaknesses, genetics or degeneration. �
Diagnosis and Treatment for Adductor Tendinopathy
A healthcare professional can safely and effectively develop an appropriate treatment plan following a thorough diagnosis or further investigations could be undertaken, including ultrasound, MRI or CT scans. Achieving pain relief through the utilization of NSAIDs may be ineffective due to the non-inflammatory nature of the injury. Steroid injections are also not necessarily recommended due to potential tendon rupture if these are injected directly into the tendon. �
Physical therapy is often recommended for the treatment of adductor tendinopathy, although there’s no golden standard for the proper rehabilitation of the adductor tendon. Recovery is extremely variable across individuals because the injury may be degenerative or even due to previously failed healing. Strengthening exercises and physical activities are also recommended to promote proper healing. Treatment should be customized to the patient to avoid recurrence. �
Other treatment for adductor tendinopathy generally consists of avoiding exercise or physical activity in the first 48 hours. The patient should then apply the RICE treatment three times per day for 10-20 minutes to help reduce swelling and inflammation from any sudden trauma. If the painful symptoms have decreased, blood flow stimulation therapy could be started to help promote the healing process. Active treatment is subsequently suggested to follow up with rehabilitation. �
Furthermore, the goal of rehabilitation is to restore the adductor muscle and tendon properties where strength training is beneficial to the adductor structure, muscle building, and biomechanics. Recent research studies have also demonstrated that an eccentric based exercise program is the most effective as well as heavy-slow eccentric and concentric exercises for enhancing both function and symptoms. For effective treatment identifying the stage of the tendinopathy is also essential. �
Differential Diagnosis of Hip Pain and Discomfort
�
Most commonly well-known as a groin strain, an adductor muscle strain is a type of injury which affects one of a group of muscles found at the top of the thigh. Meanwhile, adductor tendinopathy can affect the tendons of the adductor muscles. Both of these type of injuries can ultimately cause a variety of painful symptoms and they generally require time to heal properly. Because of the location of the injury, many patients and healthcare professionals may confuse groin injuries with sciatica without proper diagnosis. Proper diagnosis is essential to follow-up with proper treatment. – Dr. Alex Jimenez D.C., C.C.S.T. Insight

Additional Topic Discussion: Severe Sciatica
Back pain�is one of the most prevalent causes of disability and missed days at work worldwide. Back pain attributes to the second most common reason for doctor office visits, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections. Approximately 80 percent of the population will experience back pain at least once throughout their life. Your spine is a complex structure made up of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles, among other soft tissues. Injuries and/or aggravated conditions, such as�herniated discs, can eventually lead to symptoms of sciatica, or sciatic nerve pain. Sports injuries or automobile accident injuries are often the most frequent cause of painful symptoms, however, sometimes the simplest of movements can have these results. Fortunately, alternative treatment options, such as chiropractic care, can help ease sciatic nerve pain, or sciatica, through the utilization of spinal adjustments and manual manipulations, ultimately improving pain relief. �

Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the degradation or wearing away of your spinal discs leads to pain and discomfort. Everyone�s discs wear down, but not every person experiences pain. That is the difference!
What are the Four Stages of DDD
Two of the main components of the spine are the vertebrae and the discs. The discs sit between vertebrae to provide cushion, support, and flexibility. Each disc is made up of a soft inner layer and a tough outer layer. Over time, or due to injury, the discs can lose their integrity, begin to thin and even tear in certain cases. Compromised discs increase the likelihood of pressure on nerves and friction between the vertebrae.
Like many diseases, degenerative disc disease has several possible stages. As the stages progress, the negative symptoms become more pronounced.
1st Stage
The first stage of degenerative disc disease may go unnoticed by the individual but can be identified by a chiropractor or other medical professional. The loss of the natural curvature of the spine can indicate the beginning of degenerative disc disease. Pain may not be apparent, but extra pressure is being placed on the spine which can lead to more rapid aging of the spine, nerves, joints, etc.
2nd Stage
The degradation of discs becomes more apparent in the second stage. They may look thinner, and it is common to see deformations in the bone, such as bone spurs. The curvature of the spine will become more unnatural and the spinal canal may become more narrow. Stage 2 is often where you will begin to notice some pain and discomfort.
3rd Stage
Stage 3 is marked by a more extreme change in the posture and curvature of the spine, along with more pain and loss of mobility. Nerve damage is common and scar tissue typically begins to form. Discs are even thinner than before, which can sometimes cause even more deformation of the bones.
4th Stage
The final stage of degenerative disc disease is the most severe and is typically considered irreversible. Discs are at their thinnest or gone altogether. The flexibility of the spine is extremely limited and pain is often considerable. Nerve damage can be severe and the bones of the spine may even begin to fuse together.

How Can Chiropractic Help DDD?
Chiropractic care is a preferred treatment option for degenerative disc disease for a variety of reasons. Because it is gentle and non-invasive, chiropractic is much less likely to create undesirable side effects�which are common with prescription medications and surgery. Obviously, the earlier the stage of degenerative disc disease, the more successful treatment can be. But chiropractic can be helpful even in the most extreme cases of degenerative disc disease.
Chiropractic treatments may include:
Chiro Adjustments
One of the most effective ways to treat degenerative disc disease is to ensure the spine is in proper alignment. Loss of alignment, which can happen due to injury or just day to day life, puts extra stress on the spine which can accelerate the degradation of discs. Adjustments bring back alignment.
Spine Decompression
Spinal decompression uses gentle but firm pressure to bring space back between the vertebrae. Space allows blood flow to return and healing to happen. Decompression is an important treatment to complement adjustments.

Hamstring injuries are several of the most common types of injuries among athletes. These makeup for the most days or even weeks missed each year amongst AFL football players. The majority of partial or complete tears include either the hamstring muscle belly or the distal musculotendinous junction. However, a proximal hamstring injury is ultimately uncommon. In the total hamstring injury spectrum, it makes up for under 10 percent of hamstring injuries, among other health issues. �
Anatomy
The hamstring makes up the majority of the muscle mass of the rear of the thigh. It is fundamental for shoving off, landing and leaping, especially for volatile activity, such as Pilates. The hamstring consists of 3 muscles, each utilizing a common proximal attachment through a big tendon to the ischial tuberosity of the pelvis or the big bone found in the buttocks. This proximal attachment gives a fixed point from which muscle contraction can impact a more distal activity. The hamstring gives some extension of the hip but the primary activity is movement around the knee.� It is largely responsible for knee flexion. �
The 3 muscles, the biceps femoris, the semitendinosus, and the semimembranosus, originate in the posterior thigh and attach distally around the knee through tendons to bony landmarks, crossing the joint. The biceps femoris then attaches laterally into the head of the fibula on the exterior of the knee. The semitendinosus and the semimembranosus attach to the medial side of the upper tibia. Because the sciatic nerve travels closely along with the attachment of the proximal hamstring tendon to the ischium, it may become injured along with the hamstring and ultimately cause the well-known symptoms of sciatica. �
�
Mechanism of Injury
The proximal hamstring tendon can become injured through progressive stretching or through sudden and intense contraction when the hip is forcefully flexed over an extended knee. In younger patients with an average proximal hamstring tendon, this can occur through sprinting or hurdling, however, the most common athletes affected in this instance involves waterskiiers who fall forward with an extended knee. In elderly patients, proximal hamstring injuries occur through a different type of trauma, such as slipping on a wet surface or even doing the “splits” inadvertently. �
Proximal hamstring injuries could include complete tendon ruptures or incomplete/partial tears. In young patients, the bone together with the tendon is frequently avulsed or fractured in the pelvis or the ischium. In older patients, the tendon usually avulses or tears from the bone of the ischium at its attachment point. Occasionally, the tendon may tear in its midsubstance, leaving a stump of tendon still attached to the bone. Frequently this type of injury is referred to as a partial tear. �
�
Diagnosis for Proximal Hamstring Injury
A proximal hamstring injury may commonly occur due to a sports-related injury and/or accident where the patient will experience something “go” deep in their buttocks. If the incident is being observed, the sufferer may often be seen holding their buttock or upper thigh. The person is generally not able to continue with the activity and when on the ground, they may need help to get up and to walk. There is normally immediate pain and weight bearing on the affected leg while it may also be painful to sit on the affected buttock. During the next 24 to 48 hours, there is swelling and bruising which appears over the buttocks region and extends down the rear of the thigh into the lower leg. Occasionally, the patient may also experience a “pins and needles” sensation in the lower leg and/or foot, similar to sciatica. Decreased movement in the foot may be seen with a foot fall. These injuries generally require immediate medical attention to diagnose the health issue. �
X-rays are fundamental in younger patients to rule out an avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity. Ultrasound may be undertaken and will help determine the presence of a hematoma, or blood collection, in the buttock and upper thigh which can also detect tendon tears. MRI scans are the best choice of diagnosis and it is highly accurate at determining the site of injury, whether the tear is partial or complete and whether there has been any retraction of the tendon end to the thigh. �
� �
�
Treatment for Proximal Hamstring Injury
Initial treatment for proximal hamstring injury must be symptomatic, where measures will be taken to help decrease pain and swelling with icing, analgesia, and the utilization of crutches to help walking. As the pain begins to settle, a few gentle movements of the leg may be undertaken along with the aid of a healthcare professional. When the diagnosis of a proximal hamstring injury is made, it’s fundamental to follow-up with the proper treatment choices. �
Conservative treatment using a rehabilitation program may be appropriate in sedentary older patients or in those with partial tendon tears at which a significant percentage of this tendon is still intact. Conservative treatment is usually also undertaken in most instances of bone avulsion fracture where the bone fragment is sitting near the ischium. Surgery is generally recommended for younger, athletic patients or for elderly victims where there is a complete tendon tear. �
Surgery generally involves an overnight stay in the hospital and the process itself is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made in the buttock/upper thigh where the torn tendon end is identified, mobilized if it’s retracted down to the thigh and repaired back down onto the bone utilizing bone anchors or transosseous sutures. The sciatic nerve is also protected during the surgery. After surgery, painkillers may be required. Healthcare professionals may recommend patients to rest lying on their back with a pillow under the knees to allow the hamstring to be in a relaxed position. �
Differential Diagnosis of Hip Pain and Discomfort
� �
Tendon injuries are common health issues which frequently affect the athletic population. While Achilles tendon and patella tendon injuries are some of the most well-known types of tendon injuries, proximal hamstring injuries can still affect many athletes. Proximal hamstring injuries are health issues which can cause a variety or problems for people if they’re not properly diagnosed and treated. Understanding the differences between proximal hamstring injuries and it’s symptoms, including sciatica, can help both the patient and the doctor achive recovery. – Dr. Alex Jimenez D.C., C.C.S.T.
