WHAT IS

TENNIS ELBOW?

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and tenderness around the outer part of the elbow. It occurs when the tendons in the forearm become overloaded, usually due to repetitive motions, leading to small tears and inflammation. Despite its name, tennis elbow isn’t limited to athletes; it’s common in anyone who performs repetitive gripping activities, such as tradespeople or office workers.

  • Wear and tear can affect all of the joints in our body, and often can be characterised by dull aches when it’s cold and damp, and accompanied by stiffness especially in the morning. Chiropractic can help mobilise these joints which reduces stiffness and pain, and prevents the wear and tear worsening.

  • Joints especially the shoulder, elbow, wrists and ankles can be affected by repetitive strain which overloads the soft tissue elements around the joints. Chiropractic and sports therapy works by easing the inflammation and strengthening the joints to prevent the pain returning.

  • Joints can be affected by traumas and falls; chiropractic and sports therapy can help the healing process and ease inflammation, as well as provide useful home advice.

  • Sometimes joints can be affected by autoimmune diseases. Your chiropractor can liaise with your GP if they believe that an autoimmune disease may be to blame, and tailor your care plan to ease your pain and reduce your inflammation safely.

HOW CAN

OUR CLINIC

HELP?

Our clinic offers comprehensive care for tennis elbow, using chiropractic adjustments and sports therapy to improve elbow joint function. These adjustments help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Our therapists also provide targeted exercises and massage techniques to strengthen the forearm muscles and enhance flexibility, ensuring effective and lasting relief.

  • REDUCE INFLAMMATION

    Chiropractic adjustments help to reduce inflammation in the elbow joint by realigning the bones and improving joint function. This can alleviate the pressure on surrounding tissues, which is often the cause of pain in tennis elbow.

  • ENHANCE JOINT MOBILITY

    Massage therapy and chiropractic care work together to enhance joint mobility in the elbow. By loosening tight muscles and improving the range of motion, these therapies can help restore normal function and reduce stiffness associated with tennis elbow.

  • STRENGTHEN MUSCLES

    Chiropractic care and targeted massage techniques can help strengthen the muscles around the elbow, providing better support and reducing strain on the tendons. Strengthened muscles contribute to a more stable joint, which helps prevent further injury.

  • LONG TERM HEALING

    Both chiropractic and massage therapy focus on promoting long-term healing by addressing the underlying issues causing tennis elbow. Regular treatments can help maintain joint health, reduce pain, and prevent recurrence, leading to sustained relief and improved function.
