Can Tenex help with golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)?

Absolutely. Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow and is often caused by repetitive wrist flexion or gripping. Like tennis elbow, it involves tendinosis—or degeneration—rather than inflammation. Traditional treatments like rest, physical therapy, or corticosteroid injections often fall short in providing lasting relief.

Tenex addresses the root of the problem by removing the necrotic (dead) tendon tissue that fails to heal due to poor blood supply. By targeting and aspirating this damaged tissue, Tenex stimulates a regenerative healing process. For many patients with golfer’s elbow, this translates into pain relief, improved function, and a quicker return to normal activities—without the risks and recovery time of open surgery.
