Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow causes pain on the outer side of the elbow due to overuse of the forearm tendons, commonly affecting people who perform repetitive gripping or wrist movements. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides effective tennis elbow treatment in Indore to relieve pain and restore full arm function.

About Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs when the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the outer elbow become inflamed or develop small tears from repetitive strain. Despite its name, it affects many people beyond tennis players, including those who perform repetitive computer work, manual labor, or racquet sports. Persistent tennis elbow can significantly limit grip strength and everyday activities like shaking hands or lifting objects.

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow Treatment

• Pain on the outer side of the elbow
• Pain that worsens with gripping or lifting
• Weakness in grip strength
• Tenderness directly over the outer elbow bone
• Pain radiating down the forearm

Causes of Tennis Elbow Treatment

• Repetitive gripping or wrist extension movements
• Racquet sports with improper technique
• Manual labor involving repetitive forearm use
• Age-related tendon degeneration
• Poor ergonomics during computer or manual work

Diagnosis

• Physical examination with resisted wrist extension test
• Ultrasound to assess tendon thickening or tearing
• MRI in persistent or severe cases
• Assessment of grip strength and forearm function

Treatment Options

• Rest and activity modification
• Physiotherapy with eccentric strengthening exercises
• Bracing or counterforce strap for symptom relief
• Corticosteroid or PRP injections for resistant cases
• Surgical debridement for chronic, unresponsive tennis elbow
