Golfer's elbow and dry needling
Posted on 9/7/26 at 7:56 am

Started PT last week. Was surprised my grip strength in the left hand where I have it was only half that of my right hand. PT did dry needling. That was definitely a new experience. Anyone ever had that done before? Can't tell the difference but I'm sure it will take a few weeks for improvement.

Golfer's elbow
I have it in my right elbow, I'm sure it's from swinging wrong.
Our range has been on mats over concrete lately because they are shaded and it's hot as balls in Texas , seems like every time i hit on them something starts hurting.

Had heard of it but never experienced until I had groin pull in the spring. Had it couple times a week. Strange but interesting experience. Ultimately, don't think it made a difference just as the rest of PT did not, i.e. I would have reached the same end point eventually with/ without the modalities. Did PT/needling speed recovery? Maybe, maybe not. I think it did help with pain and mobility on the road to recovery and would do it again

I've got the same thing in both elbows. I assumed it was swinging the club too hard. Probably need to let it rest for a week/10 days but I keep going back.
My chiropractor buddy said to hold your arm out in front of you, point your palm up and your fingers down and with the other hand pull your fingers back towards your body. Do this for 30 seconds several times a day, I dunno

Just get one of these and use it: Flexbar
I have had great success with accupuncture for back and neck pain. My experience with dry needling is they are just guessing.

I had it in my left arm terribly from poor technique doing a tricep exercise. I couldn't lift my tailgate without terrible pain.
I found a PT who did dry needling with electronic stimulation (a needle at the muscle where pain was and another towards my wrist, connected to a power source and pulsed). I don't know if that's the proper terminology, but that's how it worked. She did the needles and scraped it. When she scraped it, it felt like dragging a rake over gravel there was so much inflammation.
Six or seven sessions of this, light PT exercises and laying off heavy lifting solved my issue.

Got dry needling in right calf few years ago. Worked with relaxing muscle knots

Theraband will take care of your golfers elbow. That thing works wonders. No PT or dry needling necessary

Same experience as everyone else in here, dry needling did not work. I went to PT and tried everything there, it did not work either. I bought the flex bar but did not do it everyday like I should so of course, that did not work either. The ONLY thing that worked for me was the Wolverine peptide (BPC-157 / TB-500). There is an entire thread in this board about peptides and this stack.

I would get gnarly golfer's elbow. I started using a wrist roller after every set, and the pain has gone away.
Never tried dry needling.

I have it.
I’ve done stretches
Exercises
Injected peptides
Physical Therapy
It’s still there
I guess PRP is up next

I tried PRP as well and it does work, for a limited time, and it's not covered by insurance. I believe I paid $400 and it gave me relief for about a year. Before you go in with high expectations, it takes about 5 weeks to kick in and it's a very painful shot.

She gave me a grip strength test. My left hand was half that of the right but slightly better than last week.

PRP has worked for friends of mine. They said it took 3 sessions.
I had a mild case and used the flex bar, elbow, wrist and shoulder mobility drills and isometric contractions.
More importantly, my golf instructor identified I was overgripping the club forcing an unnatural movement in my elbow (trailing arm). It also cost me club head speed.
I’ve had this same issue playing tennis and started double wrapping the handle.

I’ve got the worst F’ing case ever (trail arm), I thought I was better and went to the range. Hit 4 balls and felt like someone stuck an ice pick in my elbow.
I think hitting on mats caused mine but I may be wrong
