tennis elbow

3/30/2016

 Pain in the outer part of your elbow which can radiate down into your forearm or wrist? You may have Tennis elbow.
Tennis elbow, also known as Lateral Epicondilitis, occurs when tendons in your elbow are overworked, usually by repetitive motions of the wrist or arm. Small tears in the muscle of the forearm can occur due to overuse and this can lead to inflammation in the area. Tennis elbow can also develop after a direct trauma to the area or from degeneration due to ageing. The onset may be sudden or gradual and it will mainly affect the dominant hand.
While it can develop from playing sports such as tennis or racquetball, you are much more likely to develop this condition from overuse in a working environment. Painters, carpenters, gardeners, butchers and receptionists/typists are the most likely professions to develop the condition. Early intervention is vital as the longer the condition is left untreated the longer it can take to recover and in severe cases may even require surgery.
Physical Therapy, deep tissue work, dry needling, strengthening the elbow and shoulder muscles, gentle stretching and rest will all help with recovering from Tennis Elbow. In some cases a cortisone injection may also be required.
Thanks
