What is Tennis Elbow?

Medically known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow is a common condition, especially for people in sports, specifically like tennis or anything that involves a racquet, where the person tends to apply more pressure and force to the elbow than usual. It also occurs in common people, where they overuse their elbows for any sort of work.

Causes

What Causes Tennis Elbow?

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow is primarily caused by temporary damage to the specific forearm muscle due to excessive use of the elbow or sudden force or pressure applied to the region.

Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) gets weakened over a long tenure of consistent usage, and microscopic tears are formed in the tendons, which trigger the inflammation and pain. This is the second most common cause of Tennis Elbow.

Common Causes Include:

  • Repetitive wrist and arm movements
  • Playing racket sports like tennis or badminton
  • Manual work involving gripping, lifting, or twisting (e.g., carpentry, plumbing, typing)
  • Poor technique in sports or heavy lifting
  • Age-related wear and tear (common in people aged 30–50)

Our expert team of qualified and best ortho specialists in Trivandrum can identify the cause of the issue and get to the root of it, ensuring that no matter how complex the issue is, our team is dedicated to getting you back to living a normal life.

Symptoms

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow Treatment

These symptoms appear gradually, with the pain slowly increasing over time. The most common symptoms are burning sensations in the elbow, as well as a decrease in grip strength. Tennis elbow symptoms can be increased by holding a tennis racquet, turning a wrench, and shaking hands. It is important to seek treatment immediately if you face any of these problems.

You may also experience pain or tenderness on the outer part of the elbow that may radiate down the forearm. Simple tasks like lifting a cup, opening a door, or even typing can become difficult. Early diagnosis and proper care can prevent the condition from worsening and help you return to your normal activities faster.

Treatment

Treatment of Tennis Elbow

If tennis elbow symptoms persist for six to twelve months despite non-surgical care, your doctor may recommend surgery. The goal is to remove damaged tendon tissue and stimulate healing.

  • Non-surgical Treatment
  • Surgical Treatments

Physical Therapy

The best treatment for tennis elbow is physical therapy that strengthens the forearm muscles and heals it through ice massage. Therapists may also use stretching, manual therapy, ultrasound, or shockwave therapy to reduce pain and improve function.

Brace

A brace can also be helpful in relieving tennis elbow symptoms. When placed at the back side of your forearm, it strengthens the core muscle around it. Wrist splints may also be used to reduce strain during activity.

Medications

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can help reduce pain and swelling. In some cases, topical pain relievers may also be prescribed.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

A newer option, PRP involves injecting concentrated platelets from your own blood into the affected tendon to promote natural healing. It's minimally invasive and may help in chronic cases.

Steroid Injections

If none of the above treatments work, steroid injections will be a good option to ease the pain. These can provide quick relief, especially when symptoms are severe or limiting daily activities.

Open Surgery

Traditional surgery involves a small incision over the elbow to remove the damaged tissue and reattach the healthy tendon.

Arthroscopic Surgery

A minimally invasive option using a tiny camera and instruments through small incisions. This approach allows for quicker healing and less post-operative pain.

Tendon Debridement and Repair

In some cases, your surgeon may remove the degenerated tendon (debridement) and reattach the healthy tissue, especially in athletes or physically active patients.
