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.

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

Your lower back is vulnerable to painful injuries and degeneration because it supports the weight of your body while providing optimal flexibility.

This condition is one of the leading causes of vision impairment and blindness around the world and affects 11 million people in the United States alone — and this number is predicted to double to 22 million by 2050 thanks to an aging population.
