In today's video, we have Dr. Mizhiritsky of NY Bone and Joint explaining common elbow issues.

There are 2 common types of elbow problems. The first is on the outside of the elbow and commonly referred to as "tennis elbow" aka lateral epicondylitis. The other is "golfer's elbow" or medial epicondylitis. Ironically, tennis elbow is more common in golfers, typically due to most people gripping the club too tightly. Injury can also occur because of repetitive movements or improper form.

To prevent injury, Dr. Mizhiritsky suggests making stretching a priority, whether before, during, or after activity. Watch the video to view a tutorial of proper stretching techniques. You may also want to consider wearing a compression brace to help support the elbow. Anti-inflammatory creams and medications can also be helpful for these conditions. However, if the pain becomes unbearable, it is wise to stop activity and allow the joints to rest and recover over time.
