Still Dealing With Elbow Pain?

You've braced it. You've rested it. You've iced it after every session. It's time for a real diagnosis and a real plan.

The Real Issue

You've Tried Everything.
You're Still in Pain.

You've worn the brace. You've done the wrist curls. You've taken the anti-inflammatories. Maybe you even got a cortisone shot.

And every time you grip a barbell, swing a club, throw a ball, or catch yourself on the mat — it's right back.

That's not your fault. That's the wrong approach. We do things differently.

How It Works

01
Schedule Your Assessment

60 minutes figuring out why your elbow hurts — not just where. We test grip, load, and the entire chain from wrist to shoulder.

02
Start Your Program

You always know exactly what to do and why. Your program evolves as you do — because Dr. Kauffman is watching your progress and adjusting before you stall.

03
Never Plateau

Questions get answered before they become setbacks. Every in-person visit is targeted because Dr. K already knows what’s changed. Nothing falls through the cracks.

04
Come Back Stronger

You don’t just get out of pain. You grip harder, lift heavier, and compete without thinking about your elbow.

Conditions We Treat

What athletes like you come to us for

Tennis Elbow

Gripping pain on the outside of the elbow. Weak grip under load. Gets worse with every pull or push.

Golfer's Elbow

Pulling pain on the inside. Shows up with overhead movement, throwing, and heavy pulling.

Climber's Elbow

Chronic overload from grip-intensive sport. Builds slowly. Gets ignored until you can't ignore it anymore.

Post-Surgical Elbow Rehab

Return to full function after a procedure. Structured, progressive, and actually tied to your sport demands.

Wrestling Elbow Injuries

Hyperextension, instability, and mat impact. We build the stability back so you can compete without hesitation.

Golf-Related Elbow Pain

Swing mechanics and grip overload. We treat the tissue and address what's driving the breakdown.

Cheer and Gymnastics Elbow

Weight-bearing stress, tumbling impact, and repetitive loading. High-demand athletes need a higher standard of care.

If your elbow keeps flaring up no matter what you do, it's time for a real assessment.
