We offer personalized treatment plans that focus on targeting the underlying causes, improving mobility, and preventing future injuries.

Get Relief from Pain and Restore Function with Expert Tennis Elbow Treatment

 

What is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis Elbow is caused by overuse or repetitive strain on the forearm muscles and tendons near the elbow. This leads to inflammation and microtears in the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the lateral epicondyle (the bony prominence on the outer side of the elbow).

Common Symptoms of Tennis Elbow:

  • Pain on the outer side of the elbow, which may radiate down the forearm

  • Tenderness and swelling near the lateral epicondyle

  • Pain when gripping objects, such as a tennis racket, or activities like turning a doorknob or holding a cup

  • Weakness in the forearm muscles, making it difficult to perform daily tasks

  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the elbow
