Elbow pain can develop even if you don't play sports — identifying the cause is where treatment begins.
Elbow pain can occur even if you don't play tennis or golf. Everyday movements that use the wrist and arm repeatedly, such as washing dishes, cleaning, cooking, and computer work, are enough to build up strain on the tendons.
In particular, tennis elbow, which hurts on the outside of the elbow, and golfer's elbow, which hurts on the inside, differ in the location of the pain, but both commonly develop as microscopic tendon damage accumulates through repetitive use.
Drawing on his experience as a team physician for professional basketball and soccer teams, Dr. Sang-beom Kim, Director of Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic, evaluates musculoskeletal injuries arising from sports and repetitive movement. He examines not only the painful area but also movement and function to provide a treatment plan tailored to your condition.
