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.

While gripping and swinging a golf club is the best-known ...

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.
