Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow

=
The condition known as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is brought on by a thickening, swelling, or developing small tear in the tendon that connects your forearm muscles to the outside of your elbow. It results in soreness and agony. It usually affects the dominant upper extremity and is linked to forceful, repetitive movements. With wrist extension, pain is frequently most incapacitating. Golfer's elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is characterised by pain and inflammation in the tendons that join the elbow to the forearm. The inside of your elbow has a bony lump that's the source of the pain, which could also spread into your forearm.
Overuse of the forearm muscles that enable you to grasp, rotate your arm, and flex your wrist can frequently result in golfer's elbow. One of the most frequent injuries we treat is elbow discomfort, which includes tennis and golf elbow. They are also among the wounds that heal the fastest. Recent research has demonstrated the efficacy in the management of inflammatory elbow tendons and ligaments. Surgery on the elbow is rarely a viable or practical option for the typical person. We highly recommend giving OrthoGen Clinic a call and setting up an appointment with one of our doctors if you're still having elbow pain.

Book a Consultation
  • Pain and tenderness. Usually felt on the inner side of your elbow, the pain sometimes extends along the inner side of your forearm. Pain typically worsens with certain movements.
  • Stiffness. Your elbow may feel stiff, and making a fist might hurt.
  • Weakness. You may have weakness in your hands and wrists.
  • Numbness or tingling. These sensations might radiate into one or more fingers — usually the ring and little fingers.
  • Age 40 or older.
  • Performing repetitive activity at least two hours a day.
  • Obese.
  • A smoker.
  • Strengthen your forearm muscles. Use light weights or squeeze a tennis ball. Even simple exercises can help your muscles absorb the energy of sudden physical stress.
  • Stretch before your activity. Walk or jog for a few minutes to warm up your muscles. Then do gentle stretches before you begin your game.
  • Fix your form. Whatever your sport, ask an instructor to check your form to avoid overload on muscles.
  • Use the right equipment. If you're using older golfing irons, consider upgrading to lighter graphite clubs. If you play tennis, make sure your racket fits you. A racket with a small grip or a heavy head may increase the risk of elbow problems.
  • Lift properly. When lifting anything — including free weights — keep your wrist rigid and stable to reduce the force to your elbow.
