Javelin Throwers Elbow Injury

Javelin thrower elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis or golfer’s elbow, is a condition that can occur when the tendons on the inside of the elbow become inflamed or irritated. This can be caused by repetitive stress on the tendons, such as throwing a javelin repeatedly.

The symptoms of javelin thrower elbow may include pain on the inside of the elbow, weakness in the forearm and wrist, and difficulty gripping objects. Treatment options may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the affected arm, as well as physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications.

Prevention of javelin throwers' elbows involves proper technique and training, as well as incorporating exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons of the forearm and wrist. It is also important to gradually increase the intensity and frequency of javelin throwing to avoid overuse injuries. If you suspect you may have javelin thrower elbow, it is recommended to seek medical advice from a healthcare professional.

The management of javelin thrower elbow may involve both physiotherapy and chiropractic care ,depending on the individual’s specific needs and preferences.

Physiotherapy can be effective in treating javelin throwers' elbows by providing exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons of the forearm and wrist, as well as manual therapy techniques to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Physiotherapists may also use modalities such as ice or heat therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to help reduce pain and promote healing.

Chiropractic care can also be beneficial for javelin throwers' elbows, as chiropractors are trained to assess and treat musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractors may use manual techniques such as joint manipulation or mobilization to help reduce pain and improve joint function. They may also provide exercises and stretches to help improve flexibility and reduce the risk of future injury.

It is important to note that the management of javelin thrower elbow should be tailored to the individual’s specific needs and medical history, and should always be conducted under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
