You’ve rested, iced, worn the strap, maybe even had injections. But every time you grip a tool, a barbell, or a coffee mug, the pain comes right back. Something deeper is going on, and nobody has looked for it yet.
We don’t just look at the elbow.
We assess your wrist, forearm, shoulder, and neck to find what’s actually overloading the tendon.
Focused shockwave + EMTT to stimulate tendon repair.
Research-backed technologies targeting the damaged tissue, not just masking symptoms.
Progressive rehab so the pain doesn’t just come back.
We rebuild tendon capacity and grip strength so you can return to full activity with confidence.
60-minute one-on-one assessment + treatment plan.
No pressure, no contracts.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
The inside of your elbow aches every time you grip a tool, barbell, or steering wheel
You get numbness or tingling in your ring and little fingers
You rested for weeks (or months), but the pain came right back when you returned to activity
Your job or sport involves repetitive gripping, throwing, or wrist movements
You want a non-surgical path forward, but you need someone who actually explains what’s going on and treats more than just the sore spot
The Real Problem

Most people have several of these happening at once. That’s why we assess the whole chain, from your neck and shoulder down to your wrist and grip, not just the painful spot.
OUR APPROACH
INITIAL VISIT
Test grip strength, forearm muscle tone, wrist and elbow range of motion
Screen for ulnar nerve involvement, shoulder contribution, and neck referral patterns
Deliver a clear written plan with transparent pricing before you commit to anything
First 3 to 5 Weeks
Focused shockwave targeted at the common flexor tendon to stimulate tissue repair
Radial shockwave to address diffuse forearm muscle tension and tenderness
EMTT to support pain modulation and tissue response in stubborn or chronic cases
Make gripping, lifting, and daily tasks tolerable, fast.
5+ Weeks and Beyond
Progressive forearm and grip strengthening to rebuild tendon capacity
Sport-specific or work-specific load management so you return safely
Ongoing monitoring to catch early signs of relapse before pain flares again
What To Expect
Every case is different, but research and our clinical experience consistently show:
Noticeable changes within the first few weeks. Clinical studies show early improvements within 1 to 2 weeks, with benefits consolidating over 8 weeks following a shockwave protocol.
Return to gripping, lifting, and sport. Many patients regain the ability to use tools, train in the gym, and perform their job without inner elbow pain limiting them.
A clear plan to avoid surgery. Golfer’s elbow is commonly managed non-operatively first. Our approach focuses on restoring tendon capacity so surgery is less likely to become necessary.
Our promise: we will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don’t believe you’re a good candidate for this approach.
EVIDENCE
Shockwave therapy has been shown to improve pain and function in epicondylitis, with a randomized trial showing meaningful improvement after 3 weekly sessions.
A systematic review of randomized controlled trials found shockwave therapy reduces pain across upper-limb tendon conditions compared to control treatments.
EMTT combined with shockwave has shown significantly greater pain reduction in tendon disorders in a randomized trial of 86 patients, though golfer’s-elbow-specific data is still emerging.
Conservative care is the recommended first-line approach for golfer’s elbow, with a high proportion of patients responding before surgical options are considered.
Occupational physical exposures such as repetitive force and awkward postures are confirmed risk factors for epicondylitis in systematic review evidence.
Outcomes are group averages from clinical trials; individual results vary.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about Golfer's Elbow (Medial Elbow Pain).
6 results found
Yes. A randomized trial found that three weekly shockwave sessions improved pain and function in patients with medial epicondylitis. The direct evidence base is smaller than for tennis elbow, but broader reviews of upper-limb tendon conditions also support shockwave for pain reduction. We review the evidence with you and assess whether it’s appropriate for your specific case during your initial visit.
Absolutely. Despite the name, golfer’s elbow is more commonly seen in manual labourers, overhead athletes, and gym-goers than in golfers. It’s a load-exposure condition, not a golf-specific one. Any repetitive gripping, wrist flexing, or forearm-heavy activity can cause it. We map this out in your first visit.
Research protocols commonly use 3 weekly sessions. In our clinical experience, most patients start to see meaningful improvement within 3 to 5 sessions of combined technologies (focused shockwave, radial shockwave, and EMTT). We reassess after each visit and adjust the plan based on how your tissue is responding.
The most common reason is returning to full activity as soon as pain drops. Pain improves faster than the tendon heals. If load is ramped up before the tissue has rebuilt its capacity, the cycle starts over. That’s exactly why our program includes progressive strength work after the pain-relief phase. We review this with you during your initial assessment.
The ulnar nerve runs right next to the injured tendon at the inner elbow. In many golfer’s elbow cases, this nerve becomes irritated too, which can cause numbness or tingling in the ring and little fingers. We screen for this during your assessment because it changes the treatment approach.
Rest reduces pain, but it doesn’t rebuild tendon capacity. And if the condition has moved past the initial inflammatory stage into degenerative change, anti-inflammatories are targeting the wrong problem. Recovery usually requires stimulating a tissue-healing response and progressively reloading the tendon. We assess where your tendon is in that spectrum and build the plan from there.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Stop guessing, stop collecting random treatments, and get a plan that treats the system, not just the elbow.
Initial Golfer's Elbow (Medial Elbow Pain) Assessment — Edmonton
60-minute one-on-one session. Here’s what’s included:
Full-body movement and strength assessment (elbow, wrist, forearm, shoulder, neck)
Identify which pain drivers matter for your case, including ulnar nerve screening
Review of history and imaging if available
Clear written plan with transparent pricing before you commit
No referral needed. No obligation to continue beyond the first visit.
No pressure, no contracts.
We will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don't believe you're a good candidate for this approach. If your condition needs something different, we'll refer you directly.
