Golfers elbow, or medial
epicondylitis, is similar to its counterpart,
tennis elbow. The primary differences between
these conditions are the location of the pain and
the activity that leads to injury. However, both
conditions are caused by overuse of the muscles and
tendons of the forearm, leading to inflammation and
pain around the elbow joint and the main culprit is
vibration.
|
|
|
|
| |
Golfers elbow is a type of
tendonitis, an inflammation of the tendons. Tendons are
connective tissues that attach muscle to bone. Because
of the force of the muscle, the points where the tendon
attaches to the bone are often pointed protrusions. The
medical name of Golfers Elbow (medial epicondylitis)
comes from the name of these bony protrusions where the
tendons insert, and where the inflammation causes the
pain. The pain of golfer's elbow is usually at the elbow
joint on the inside of the arm; a shooting sensation
down the forearm is also common when gripping objects.
|
|
| |
Generally, damage is done at the
point where the forearm tendon is anchored to the upper
arm bone (humerus) resulting from shock travelling up
the arm while, simultaneously, gripping something
tightly. The result is microscopic tears in the tendon
at the anchor point where inflammation occurs. The
forearm muscles are in continual tension due to the
opposing action needed by the hand for gripping, the
tendon inflammation (tendonitis) is unable to heal.

What causes golfers elbow?
|
| |
The mechanism of this injury can
vary from a single violent action, more commonly, to
repetitive stress injury; where an action is performed
repeatedly and pain gradually develops. No one is immune
from these injuries, but they are more common at the
beginning of the golf season, or when the offending
activity is increased in intensity or duration. Golf is
one common cause of these symptoms, but many other
sport- and work-related activities can induce the same
problem. Another common cause of this injury is with
weekend carpenters who use hand tools on occasion and
professionals who are exposed to repeated vibrations.
|
|
| |
Medial epicondylitis is usually a
self-limited problem and does not cause any long-term
disability. Treatment is rarely surgical, as this
condition is well managed with a little rest and proper
rehabilitation. If you are told you have Golfers Elbow,
the first step is to avoid the offending activity, be it
golf or any other activity, until the pain has subsided.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Once the pain has passed, the
activity should be gradually resumed (both the intensity
and duration should be minimal at first). |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Various braces, straps, creams, arm supports, and
medications etc have been employed to alleviate pain
caused by golfers elbow. Some are too
bulky to wear for any length of time; some cause
intractable side effects of their own, while others
simply do not work. Tenex® Shock Absorber (SA) has been
clinically proven to eliminate the damaging vibrations
that cause fatigue, muscle stress, joint injuries and
golfers elbow.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
How does it work?
Tenex® Shock Absorber utilizes a high density liquid
formula designed to absorb vibration at the wrist
before it can travel to the sensitive tendons of the
carpal tunnel. When TENEX® Shock Absorber is
subjected to impacts (even minute) from repeated
shocks and vibrations, it creates a continuous
counterwave action inside the spherical module which
neutralizes the force of impact and any resulting
harmful effects to the tendons.
|
|
|
Tenex® Shock Absorber has been
found to eliminate 50% to 70% of harmful
vibrations
|
|
| |
How is Tenex® Shock Absorber
Worn? Lightweight, elegant and comfortable
Tenex® Shock Absorber features an adjustable,
self-gripping, wrist band with a soft, breathable
backing. Worn just above the wrist bone, Tenex® Shock
Absorber fits snugly and comfortably. Do not overtighten.
You may want to adjust the band for comfort after a
brief period of wear. The strap can be removed and
washed; then, simply re-inserted into the Tenex® module.

How Does Tenex® Shock
Absorber Compare with Other Products? Other
products rely on different types of technology for
effectiveness.
Air braces, cream pain relievers, elbow bands and wraps,
gels, hot & cold therapy, magnetic products, patches and
neoprene sleeves are all used to treat stress
injuries with effectiveness rates between 0 to 7%.
Studies show that Tenex® Shock Absorber reduces damaging
vibrations by 50 to 70% - far more effective than its
nearest competitors.
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Testing of Tenex® Shock Absorber
included two engineering studies, three medical
assessments and rigorous clinical and field tests of
industrial workers, tennis players and golfers. In
study after study, Tenex® Shock Absorber's
effectiveness was verified by professional
independent researchers.
|
|
| |
Results show 50% reduction in time
of vibrations and 70% reduction in amplitude of
vibrations when wearing Tenex® Shock Absorber, as
compared with an identically sized and weighted placebo.
Researchers expressed their confidence in these
results: |
|
|
|
| |
"Tenex® Shock Absorber has
been clinically proven to eliminate the damaging
shock waves and vibrations that cause Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome, Tennis Elbow and Golfers Elbow. Studies
and trial tests have placed Tenex® SA ahead of its
competitors with 50-70% of the noxious vibrations
eliminated. I highly recommend this product."

" I have never tested such an
efficient device. The vibration damping qualities of
all the other tested products obtained between 5 -
10% vibration control, while Tenex® SA reached 70%."

"The results obtained in all
tests are consistent with previous studies on the
effectiveness of Tenex® Shock Absorber. In the test
study, we witnessed that 90% of the subjects showed
significant reduction in the intensity of pain and
an increase in flexibility and freedom of movement.
We conclude that Tenex® Shock Absorber is effective
in the reduction of symptoms of Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome, Tennis Elbow and Golfers Elbow. This is a
real scientific breakthrough... "

"I am a semi-retired physician
and play golf everyday. Although several of my
patients reported positive results about your
product Tenex, I still viewed it with some
skepticism. For the first time last summer,
I developed a serious case of Golfers elbow
and decided to try it . Very quickly I noticed less
fatigue in my arm and within 10 days all symptoms of
golfers elbow disappeared: no more pain or sore
elbow to the touch! This is truly an excellent
product which I now recommend to my patients."
