In this video I discuss common elbow problems often diagnosed as tendonitis, lateral epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), and medial epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow). Even if you’re not a hard core golfer, bowler, tennis player, or thrower of darts, you can still have pain in your elbow as a result of various muscle imbalances. Check out the video to learn why. I also discuss the link between elbow problems and carbohydrate intolerance and insulin resistance. And of course – check out the Sock Doc Injury First Aid series to understand why you don’t want to ice, stretch, or take NSAIDs for your elbow pain.

Did I hear you say in the video that elbow muscles are uniquely controlled by blood sugar levels? I read the link, but I wondered if you could comment further on the elbow connection. Thanks.
Yes you heard correctly. It has to do with the viscerosomatic (organ-muscle) relationship between the triceps and the pancreas. The triceps muscles become neurologically inhibited (weak) and an imbalance between the triceps and biceps results, often leading to elbow or shoulder pain.
