Tennis Elbow Treatment - Brisbane!
We can assist with a tennis elbow cure.
What is tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a condition where the patient experiences pain around the spot that the tendons from the forearm muscles attach to the bony knob on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle).
Symptoms
The symptoms that you may suffer will be pain over the outside of the elbow and it may radiate to the forearm and wrist. The pain will usually come on gradually and may increase by the repetitive extension of the wrist, (moving the back of the hand towards the back of the forearm), or by rotation of the forearm. There is no 'quick fix' tennis elbow cure.

Causes
Elbow tendonitis treatment is most commonly sought by 35-55 year olds, but it does occur in other age groups, too. It occurs due to the degeneration of tendon fibres resulting from the overuse of the muscles used for bending back the wrist and lifting the hand. It's not only caused by playing tennis, but also many other activities that involve repetitive use of these muscles, such as,
- gardening
- painting
- using a screw driver
- other racquet sports
- also, the incorrect use of a computer keyboard or mouse can contribute to the symptoms.
Lateral epicondylitis treatment
Tennis elbow is often chronic, (an injury which intensifies over time). It usually lasts for several months and can generally get better on its own, within six months to 2 years.
- Initial treatment for tennis elbow may include the application of ice and avoiding the activities that aggravate the pain.
- A tennis elbow brace can be worn to protect the tendon.
- Acupuncture may be used to relieve the pain.
- Chiropractic may be used by alternating hot and cold and massaging muscles to relieve stress and tension.
