Update: 2020-11-121
Description
When should you consider getting an MRI if you have a Golfer’s or Tennis Elbow injury?
Allen Willette from Tennis Elbow Classroom answers this question in this podcast episode. Which also covers several key, related questions including: Do I need an MRI to diagnose my Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?
When is the right time to get an MRI scan – If at all!? What will the MRI tell me – and what do the results actually mean? And are there any good alternatives?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI for short) is considered the “gold standard” when it comes to imaging or “seeing” what’s wrong with soft tissues.If there are any significant defects in your tendons the MRI will reveal these in the greatest detail currently available in medicine.
This is the best objective measure (although not the only measure) you can get of how severe the damage to your tendons may be.(Tendon damage being the essence of what Golfer’s and Tennis Elbow are.)
But there are several things to take into consideration about if and when you really need to go to the significant trouble involved in getting an MRI.
