Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that occurs when the tendons that attach to the outer elbow become inflamed. It is commonly caused by repetitive activities such as playing tennis, hence the name.
Physiotherapy and chiropractic treatments can be effective in managing tennis elbow. Here are some common treatments:
- Physiotherapy: A physiotherapist can design a program of exercises and stretches to help reduce pain and inflammation in the elbow. They may also use techniques such as manual therapy, acupuncture, and ultrasound, wax therapy, TENS, to reduce pain and promote healing.
- Chiropractic treatment: A chiropractor can use elbow manipulations, joint mobilizations, and muscle releases to relieve pain and stiffness in the elbow and surrounding areas.
- Rest: Resting the affected arm is important to allow the tendons to heal. Avoid wrist extension activities that aggravate the condition and using a wrist immobilizer/tennis elbow brace or splint to support the elbow.
- Ice therapy: Applying ice to the affected area can help reduce pain and inflammation. It is recommended to apply ice for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
- Orthopedic Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen/NSAIDS or naproxen can help reduce pain and inflammation. Your doctor may also recommend regenerative medicines (PRP/GFC) injections to reduce inflammation.
It is important to seek medical advice before beginning any treatment for tennis elbow. Your healthcare provider can help you determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
