How we evaluate golfer’s elbow
A good plan starts with understanding the problem. The evaluation is based on your symptoms, your goals, and the activities you want to get back to.

We talk through what hurts, what makes it better or worse, what you have tried, and what activities matter most to you.
Movement
We assess how the involved area moves and how surrounding regions may be contributing.
Strength
We look at strength, control, capacity, and the movements your sport, training, work, or life requires.

Care built for active people who want a plan
Many patients come to us after trying rest, stretching, massage, quick adjustments, YouTube exercises, or generic rehab that did not fully solve the problem. We help connect the dots between the painful area, the way you move, and the demands of your sport or daily life.
Visits are one-on-one and may include chiropractic care, soft tissue treatment, rehab exercises, movement assessment, and practical guidance for returning to training, sport, work, or daily activity.
