Elbow Joint Pain in Senior Professionals Doing Weekend Golf

Q1: Why do senior professionals develop elbow joint pain from golf?
A1: Repetitive swings, forceful backhands, and improper technique place strain on the elbow tendons, ligaments, and surrounding muscles, often leading to lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) or medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow).

Q2: What symptoms are common in this group?
A2: Symptoms include outer or inner elbow pain, stiffness, weakness in grip, and discomfort during swings or daily tasks, which can affect both work and recreational activities.

Q3: What remedies do senior professionals usually try first?
A3: Many attempt:

• Elbow braces or straps for support.
• Plasters or topical analgesic gels for temporary relief.
• NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors for short-term pain management.
• Physiotherapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises to restore elbow function.

While helpful temporarily, these measures often do not fully resolve chronic strain from repeated golfing.

Q4: How does The Pain Relief Clinic approach elbow joint pain differently?
A4: The Pain Relief Clinic emphasizes non-invasive technology, including HotHeal Therapy, shockwave therapy, and guided physiotherapy to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence. MRI diagnostics are available for precise assessment. Eligible Singaporeans, permanent residents, and some international patients may access cashless service, removing upfront payment stress and allowing professionals to focus on recovery.

Q5: How can elbow pain affect senior professionals emotionally and socially?
A5: Pain can limit weekend golf, recreational hobbies, and social activities, causing frustration, anxiety about aging, and concern about declining physical performance.

Q6: Who is this treatment most suitable for?
A6: This approach is ideal for senior professionals, executives, and weekend golfers experiencing elbow joint pain, who want non-invasive, effective relief with cashless service, enabling them to continue enjoying golf and daily activities comfortably.
