Video Summary

Dr. Brett DeGoyer discusses the treatment of medial and lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as golfer's elbow and tennis elbow. He highlights that these conditions often affect opposite sports. Treatment involves managing inflammation and irritation in the tendons through manual techniques. The counter-strain method involves finding painful points, applying pressure, and adjusting muscle positions to reduce pain. Stretching paired with resistance is another approach, helping alleviate inflammation and congestion. Caution is advised to avoid nerve damage, particularly concerning the ulnar nerve in the medial epicondyle area.
