The most famous Indian sportsperson to have suffered this debilitating condition was Sachin Tendulkar. Inflammation caused by tears in the tendons around the elbow cause this painful condition.
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that can result from overuse of the muscles and tendons in the elbow. Tennis elbow is often linked to repeated motions of the wrist and arm. Despite its name, most people who get tennis elbow don't play tennis. Some people have jobs that involve repeated movements that can lead to tennis elbow. These include plumbers, painters, carpenters and butchers.
The pain of tennis elbow occurs mainly where the tough, cord-like tissues of the forearm muscles attach to a bony bump on the outside of the elbow. The tissues are known as tendons. Pain can spread into the forearm and wrist.
Treatment of Tennis elbow is mostly done through physiotherapy. In some cases steroid injections can help in reducting inflammation. Surgery is the last option when all other treatments have failed to deliver the desired result.
Our Physiotherapist can teach exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons in the forearm. A forearm strap or brace might reduce stress on the injured tissue.
Different types of shots into the affected tendon are used to treat tennis elbow. They include corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma. Dry needling, in which a needle gently pierces the damaged tendon in many places, also can be helpful.
