A common at home remedy for golfer’s elbow is using ice on the elbow for 10 minutes to help with the pain and stretch the forearm muscles. An over the counter elbow support may provide symptomatic relief as well. If the pain persists, it is recommended to seek additional treatment from a chiropractor in Vancouver or a registered massage therapist.
