Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, clinically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that affects not only tennis players but individuals engaged in repetitive arm movements. At Metro Cure, we understand the impact of tennis elbow on daily activities and offer specialized care to alleviate symptoms and promote recovery. This article explores the causes, symptoms, and advanced treatments available at Metro Cure for those dealing with tennis elbow.
Causes of Tennis Elbow:
Tennis elbow is typically caused by repetitive stress on the forearm muscles and tendons, leading to microtears and inflammation at the lateral epicondyle (the bony prominence on the outer part of the elbow). While common among tennis players, it can also result from activities like typing, gardening, or any repetitive gripping motions.
Common Symptoms:
Individuals with tennis elbow may experience pain and tenderness on the outer side of the elbow, a weakened grip, and discomfort during activities involving wrist and forearm movements. If left untreated, symptoms can persist and impact daily tasks.
