What Is Tennis Elbow?

Posted By ProFysio Physical Therapy || 27-Dec-2016

Tennis elbow, as the name suggests, is an injury commonly sustained while performing activities such as playing sports (including tennis) as well as weightlifting. However, you don’t have to be an athlete to develop this injury. Tennis elbow can also affect individuals who frequently engage in (or whose job requires) repetitive elbow movements including carpentry and painting. Below, our blog outlines the basics of this injury as well as what you should do if you think you are currently suffering from tennis elbow.

Common Causes of Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow is the name commonly used for the condition known as lateral epicondylitis. It is typically caused when the overexertion of the arms or hands lead to tendon damage in the area of the elbow. The main symptoms of tennis elbow can include pain, swelling, or tenderness around the outside of the elbow as well as decreased grip. For example, a person with this condition may experience unusual pain or difficulty turning a handle to open a door.

In the majority of cases, the injury is treatable with rest and non-invasive physical therapy. If you believe that you may have damaged the tendons in your elbow, the first step to recovery is often to stop the activities that are causing your pain. Use your healthy arm for the majority of your daily tasks and consider purchasing a brace to minimize movement with your injured elbow. If the pain persists, massage and physical therapy can be effective treatments. However, each injury is different and it is recommended that you discuss new exercise and training regimens with a therapist.
