mPNS for Golfer's Elbow

What is golfer’s elbow?

An overuse injury of the tendons and soft tissues that attach to the medial epicondyle (inside) of the elbow, commonly caused by repetitive wrist flexion and gripping motions. Alternate name: medial epicondylitis

Common symptoms

Aching or sharp pain at the inside of the elbow
Pain that may travel down the forearm toward the wrist and fingers
Weak or painful grip, difficulty holding golf clubs, tools, or objects
Pain when flexing the wrist, making a fist, or performing repetitive forearm motions
Tenderness and possible swelling over the medial epicondyle

How golfer’s elbow affects daily life

Physical Impact

Limits performance in sports (golf, throwing) and manual work (carpentry, plumbing). Makes everyday tasks — lifting, carrying, turning doorknobs, gripping utensils — painful or difficult

Professional & Social Impact

Reduces work productivity and may require activity modification or time off

Emotional Impact

Can cause frustration, sleep disruption, and reduced quality of life when chronic

Common treatment options

Conservative Care

Physical therapy: stretching, strengthening , manual therapy and myofascial release.
Activity modification and temporary rest to reduce tendon strain
Physical therapy: eccentric strengthening, stretching, and ergonomic training
Forearm braces or straps to unload the tendon during activity

Injections, Procedures & Advanced Interventions

Injections (corticosteroid for short-term relief; PRP in selected cases)
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy or other modalities depending on provider
Surgery reserved for persistent, severe cases after failed conservative care

What is mPNS and how it works

mPNS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate peripheral nerves near the injured tendon to modulate pain signaling

Mechanism: Magnetic stimulation alters nerve excitability and pain pathway activity, decreasing abnormal peripheral nerve firing and aiding neuromuscular control without needles or systemic drugs.

Benefits of mPNS for golfer’s elbow

Non-invasive with minimal systemic side effects

Targeted pain relief by modifying peripheral nerve signaling

Can improve grip strength and functional use of the arm when paired with rehab

Useful alternative for patients who prefer to avoid injections or surgery

Often well tolerated with low complication rates

Typical treatment course and what to expect

- Clinical evaluation to confirm pain sources and screen for contraindications (e.g., certain implanted electronic devices).
- Series of brief outpatient sessions using a magnetic stimulation device; protocols vary by clinic.
- Gradual symptom improvement over days to weeks; best outcomes when combined with physical therapy and home exercises.
- Most patients report tolerable sensations during treatment and few side effects (temporary local discomfort).
