3. Tennis elbow, sometimes known as lateral epicondylitis is actually a
misleading term. In truth, a very less percentage of people, even less than 5
percent of the people suffering from this problem actually play tennis.
This problem arises due to over-exercising in the gym or by typing too much
on the keyboard.
The symptoms include a sharp pain at the outside aspect of the elbow over
the bone. This article contains information regarding this specific and much
common problem and it also teaches some tips to heal this type of injury.
4. New cellular research has changed the
way we treat tennis elbow. Here are
some ways you can ace tennis elbow:
Address the underlying cause. If the pain is sport- or
activity-specific, you must improve your technique or
ergonomic setup. Have your workstation evaluated or consult
with a personal trainer to make sure your technique is sound.
Home stretching exercises. Tennis elbow results when the
forearm muscles get too tight and cause increased tension on
the bony attachments of tendons. Simple stretches to loosen
up your forearms can help when the problem is in its early
phase.
5. Put a brace on it. A counter force brace can offload the
overworked tendon by redistributing the pressure and can
provide immediate relief.
