What Is Tennis Elbow?

Overuse injuries are often the causes of our aches and pains. We hope our bodies can withstand the strain caused by repetitive and strenuous motions, but that isn’t always the case. At some point, all those repetitive motions may give rise to troublesome injuries. Chief among the injuries you should watch out for is tennis elbow.

Tennis elbow, otherwise known as lateral epicondylitis, is an injury characterized by swelling in tendons that connect to your elbow. It can cause significant discomfort. The pain may remain in that area early on but can also move down to the wrist. You may also experience minor discomfort just above your elbow.

Muscle weakness is another symptom commonly associated with tennis elbow. People with this injury may struggle to hold and lift objects. Even turning a doorknob may become a greater challenge because twisting motions with your affected hand can cause considerable pain.

Tennis elbow can also affect your flexibility. Fully extending your elbow may be next to impossible as long as your tendons are inflamed. You may also have a hard time trying to raise your arm.

Interestingly, the term “tennis elbow” can be seen as a bit of a misnomer. Although you may develop tennis elbow from playing that sport, it is also more commonly caused by performing activities that require the use of vibrating machinery, such as chainsaws and dental drills. You are also more likely to develop tennis elbow if your job involves painting or carpentry.

What Are the Best Tennis Elbow Options in Palm Beach Gardens FL?

A possible contributing factor to the inflammation responsible for your tennis elbow is misalignment of the joint. As long as those misalignments exist, you won’t be able to recover fully from your injury. Thankfully, your chiropractor can do something about those misalignments.

Your chiropractor can reposition your elbow joint back into proper alignment. Once the joint is back in its healthy position, the pain, muscle weakness, and stiffness you’ve been experiencing should improve.

We also provide treatments to help the inflamed muscles and tendons rebuild. These include therapeutic ultrasound and trigger point therapy, which help break up any adhesions that may have formed in response to trauma and increase circulation.
