Tennis elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow caused by overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons. Treatment typically involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, medications, and sometimes surgical intervention to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore function. We have the best Tennis elbow surgeon in Yelahanka. Contact us today.

Causes:

  1. Repetitive Motion: Activities involving repetitive wrist and arm movements, such as playing tennis, typing, or using tools, can lead to overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons.
  2. Excessive Strain: Strain from lifting heavy objects or engaging in sports can put stress on the tendons, causing micro-tears and inflammation.
  3. Improper Technique: Using improper techniques in activities or sports, such as an incorrect tennis stroke, can increase the risk of developing tennis elbow.
  4. Aging: Tendons lose elasticity and become more prone to injury as people age, making older individuals more susceptible to tennis elbow.

Benefits:

  1. Pain Relief: Effective treatment methods, including rest, medications, and physical therapy, help alleviate pain associated with tennis elbow, enhancing overall comfort.
  2. Reduced Inflammation: Interventions like ice application, anti-inflammatory medications, and therapeutic exercises reduce inflammation and swelling in the affected tendons.
  3. Improved Function: Physical therapy and strengthening exercises restore the strength and flexibility of the forearm muscles, improving overall function and reducing the risk of recurrence.
  4. Prevention of Future Injuries: Proper treatment and rehabilitation, along with ergonomic adjustments and technique improvements, help prevent future occurrences of tennis elbow and related injuries.
