Overview

When someone has a golfer's elbow, a type of tendinitis, the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow become inflamed and painful. The inside bony bump of your elbow is the source of the pain, which may also radiate into your forearm. The right elbow is the most common location for a golfer's elbow in a novice right-handed golfer. Individuals suffering from the illness frequently shift their weight incorrectly and tend to "throw the club down" when hitting the ball. 

This is sometimes referred to as "hitting from the top." As a result, the muscles in the forearm may become more stressed. The pronator teres an inner forearm muscle, which is especially active during the acceleration phase of the swing. Golfer's elbow can occur in the left arm of right-handed golfers if the follow-through is created by turning the wrist. The golfer's wrist turns palm up in these situations, putting additional strain on the inner side of the left elbow.

Ayurvedic View

Asthi vaha sroto dushti- it's a condition where there is mainly involvement of kandara (tendon) along with prakupita (aggravated) vata dosha in elbow area- sandhi pradesha (joint forming structures), which results in adika shoola (severe pain), aankunchana prasarana kashta chesta (pain) and restrictions while extension and flexion movements, this is golfer's elbow, when there is pain  in medial or inner side of elbow. Ayurveda's approach is to reduce the symptoms and quicker healing by bringing dosha back to prakruta awastha (balance state), thereby increase range of movement of the affected joint, nourish the dhatus (strengthen tissue) by ayurvedic panchakarma treatment.
