Despite its name, more than 90% of patients diagnosed with golfer’s elbow didn’t get their injury playing sports — most developed the problem due to repetitive wrist movements on the job. No matter how your golfer’s elbow occurred, Vonda Muncy, LAc, DiplAc, at Soul Potential Acupuncture & Wellness can help you find pain relief and accelerate healing with acupuncture. To schedule an appointment, contact us  HERE . What is golfer’s elbow? Golfer’s elbow develops from repetitive activities that strain the muscles in your forearm responsible for flexing your wrist. As a result, the stress causes small tears and inflammation in the tendon that attaches the muscle to your elbow. When you have golfer’s elbow, called medial epicondylitis, the damaged tendon is on the inside of the elbow. Golfer’s elbow is closely associated with tennis elbow, which is a similar injury except the injured tendon is on the outer side of the elbow. While gripping and swinging a golf club is the best-known caus

Acupuncture is an old healing practice of traditional Chinese medicine dating back over 4,000 years. It still remains effective today as a way to strengthen the body rather than merely treating symptoms. It is primarily used to relieve pain as well as treat other conditions. More than 3 million Americans and 200,000 children in the U.S. have had acupuncture to help relieve a symptom or condition. Because of its low side effects, it has been the treatment of choice for many doctors across the country. It is even more popular in other countries. What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a way of balancing the body. It uses thin needles placed at specific points in the body. Soul Potential Acupuncture & Wellness is trained to know where to locate these points for the related condition or symptom. When these specific points are stimulated, your body’s function improves and begins a self-healing process. An acupuncture session will typically last 20 minutes. Soul Potential Acupuncture & W
