If you tell your boss at work or friends at home that you need treatment for tennis elbow\u00a0you may not get much sympathy; but tennis elbow isn\u2019t just the result of too many\u00a0summer afternoons hitting tennis balls over a net. It should be taken seriously and\u00a0treated at the first signs of pain in your forearm or elbow.<\/p>\n

What causes Tennis Elbow?<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” text_font_size=”14″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Tennis elbow usually occurs when you do the same arm movements over and over again, especially gripping an object while twisting your wrist.<\/p>\n

There are many causes – gardening, painting and decorating, plumbing, repeatedly carrying heavy items, even golf. And if your work involves using a computer all day, that can contribute to tennis elbow too.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Warning Signs” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” text_font_size=”18″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_text_color=”#7d78b9″ custom_padding=”20px|||”]<\/p>\n

Warning Signs<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” text_font_size=”14″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Tennis elbow is a pain, and sometimes inflammation, to the outside of your elbow and along the forearm, due to damage to arm muscles and tendons.<\/p>\n

Tennis Elbow Treatment<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” text_font_size=”14″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

If the pain is mild, then rest and gentle exercise can often deal with the problem. A trained physiotherapist can also help put together a suitable exercise programme for you.<\/p>\n

And if you think your tennis elbow is being caused by your work, have a word with your employer about changing the way you do things \u2013 maybe your physio can suggest alternative ways of working that will help, such as agreed breaks.<\/p>\n

But more severe cases need many months of expert treatment<\/a> <\/strong>before a full recovery is made. At the Petersfield Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic<\/a><\/strong> we offer electro-therapy, acupuncture, and the use of splints for more serious cases.<\/p>\n

This, combined with rest and avoiding any activities that aggravate the pain, can help speed up recovery.<\/p>\n

And a programme of exercise, or changes to how you work and play, can help ensure tennis elbow doesn\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n
