Tennis Elbow – How to Resolve It in the Long Term?

Lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow is an inflammation of the forearm extensor tendons in the elbow area, and it develops when the arm repeatedly performs extending and rotating movements (in office work, IT, racket strokes, etc.).

Tennis elbow is one of the most common overuse syndromes, and it causes pain on the outer side of the elbow that can spread into the forearm.

The symptom is pain on the outer side of the elbow and in the hand, ranging from mild pain after activity to constant pain that prevents any activity.

THERAPY:

We often treat tennis elbow at our polyclinic, and in therapy we carry out procedures to reduce inflammation and pain, which include a combination of manual therapy, electrotherapy – electrical stimulation, laser, ultrasound – and shockwave therapy. Once the inflammation and pain have decreased, the therapy focuses on targeted exercises to activate the muscles of the forearm and hand, with the aim of full recovery and preventing the pain from coming back.

Therapy includes everything needed to successfully resolve the cause of the pain!
