Tennis elbow
Also known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs primarily where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to a bony bump on the OUTSIDE of your elbow. Pain can also spread into your forearm and wrist.
-
Like a repetitive strain injury, lateral epicondylitis is usually caused by excessive use of the muscles of the forearm and wrist. Whereby the muscles and tendon can no longer stand the load/forces being put through them.
-
Treatment centres around reducing pain by de-loading the tendons that have been overused and improving function of the wrist and shoulder.
Rest is vital to allow the tendon to heal and not re-aggravate symptoms.
Exercise rehab is an important step and allows structural changes to occur in the tendon.
Golfer’s elbow
Also known as medial epicondylitis occurs primarily where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to a bony bump on the INSIDE of your elbow. Pain can also spread into your forearm and wrist.
-
