Victoria Health Clinic can diagnsois Tennis Elbow, but first, what is Tennis Elbow.  Tennis elbow is an inflammation, soreness, or pain on the outside of the upper arm near the elbow.  The medical terminology for this condition is lateral epicondylitis.

Tennis elbow is caused when the muscles in your forearm known as tendons (they are attached to the bone on the outside of your elbow) are used repetitively.   Over time small tears develop in the tendon and this can lead to pain where the tendon is attached to the bone. A good example of this is playing tennis or other racquet sports; although any activity that involves repetitive twisting of the wrist can lead to this condition!

The symptoms that are associated with tennis elbow are a weak grasp, elbow pain that gradually worsens and a radiating pain from the elbow down to the wrist when grasping or twisting.

Diversified Health’s treatment plan for tennis elbow is a combination of Shockwave therapy, and Graston Instruments .  The practitioner will also assign specific exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of your forearm.

Patients can assist in the treatment by avoiding the activity that caused the symptoms for several days; apply ice 2 -3 times a day to help with inflammation, as well as taking an anti-inflammatory such as Traumeel.

Be sure to ask your practitioner about any changes you can make to your work environment, technique or sport’s equipment that you are currently using.
