Research suggests as many as a third of people suffer from tennis elbow at some point.
While the condition is certainly not limited to tennis players, it got its name for a reason: The repetitive motions tennis players make can put a great deal of stress on the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow joint.
Inflammation of those tendons can cause tightness in the arm and gradually increasing pain in the outside of the elbow, especially when gripping something.
We tend to see tennis elbow most frequently in patients older than 40, but younger athletes who do not proactively recognize and treat symptoms of tennis elbow run the risk of letting that pain escalate quickly.
“We ask patients not to wait and see if a pain will go away on its own,” Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Specialist Dr. Lipnitsky says. “If they feel that what they’re experiencing is a bad pain — not just soreness from working out — come by and let us see.”
Problems arising from tennis elbow (you will also see it referred to by its clinical name, “lateral epicondylitis”) can multiply if left untreated. For tennis players, especially, it’s not just a matter of being unable to play. Even gripping a fork or a door knob can send pain shooting through your arm.
“If we find something wrong with the tendon, it’s easier and more efficient to address it immediately,” Dr. Lipnitsky says. “This way, there are a couple of treatments available, and the patient can be back in the game rather than facing a long process of recovery.”
The key is being able to recognize the inflammation that causes tennis elbow before it becomes painful. Therefore, we should take a look at the warning signs tennis players need to be aware of.
After that, we will explore the varieties of treatments that have emerged in recent years to alleviate even severe tennis elbow pain.
