Understanding Golfers Elbow

Golfers Elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow. Despite its name, this condition is not limited to golfers. It can affect anyone who performs repetitive wrist and forearm movements, such as athletes, manual laborers, and even office workers. Symptoms typically include elbow pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, stiffness, weakness in the hands and wrists, and numbness or tingling in the fingers.

Our Approach to Treating Golfers Elbow

At Austin Preferred Integrative Medicine, we take a holistic approach to treating Golfers Elbow. Our goal is to not only alleviate your pain but also address the underlying causes to prevent future occurrences. Dr. Jeff Fluitt and our team use a variety of advanced chiropractic techniques tailored to your specific needs. Here’s how our methods can help:

Active Release Technique

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement-based technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. ART is highly effective for Golfers Elbow as it involves breaking down scar tissue and adhesions that cause pain and restrict movement. By applying precisely directed tension combined with specific patient movements, we can improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function to the affected area.

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is an innovative, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables us to effectively detect and treat scar tissue and restrictions that affect normal function. Using specialized stainless-steel instruments, we perform a series of gentle scraping motions to break up fascial adhesions. This technique enhances the body’s healing process, reduces pain, and increases range of motion, making it particularly beneficial for those suffering from Golfers Elbow.

Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)

The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is a model of diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries that involves the identification of specific distortions in the body’s connective tissue, or fascia. By understanding and addressing these distortions, we can provide targeted and effective treatment for Golfers Elbow. FDM treatments can quickly alleviate pain and improve function by restoring the fascia to its normal, healthy state.

I was really scared when I hurt my back but he created a great treatment plan and I was up n running in no time! He has such a presence about him and wears cool shirts. This is the only place I will go when I need a tune up or in other extreme circumstances which are bound to happen with me.”

“AMAZING! I was involved in a car accident and came to get treatment here. I am so happy I did. Today I can say I feel better than I did before my accident. The staff is very professional and courteous. I have been so pleased with my results. When I hear people talk about pain at my gym I immediately tell them about my experience and tell them to reach out – they won’t regret it. thank yall so much!!! I never thought after my accident that I would be 100% again (which is a scary feeling).”

“I have been going [to Austin Preferred] for couple of weeks for chiropractic adjustments and PT for the herniated discs in my neck! Facility is very clean, staff knows what they are doing, very nice and genuine! For the first time in years I feel relieved of constant neck discomfort and pain shooting down my right arm because of the nerve in my neck that is pinched by the disc! Dr. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, gentle and understanding! I tried many chiropractors in the area but I won’t be going to them ever! Dr. Jeff is the only one who actually helped!!“

“Dr. Fluitt is amazing! He has taken care of my chronic back pain as well as my daughter, who is a gymnast with major injuries, and my other daughter, who is a ballerina with tendinitis. He is my preferred therapist for myself and my children! I have recommended MANY other parents and friends to Dr. Fluitt!!“

“I have been going to Dr. Fluitt for years for various aliments and it’s always a fun story for his team of how I recently injured myself at our appointments. I never hesitate to make an appointment because he always knows exactly how to “fix me” and the rest of his team is knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. I really appreciate how he takes a rehabilitation approach to any problem that I have and always sends me home with an action plan with effective exercises for the quickest recovery.“
