Tennis elbow:
Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that affects not only tennis players but also many individuals engaged in various activities. It can be painful and disruptive to daily life, but with the right knowledge and treatment, it can be managed effectively.
How does it cause?
- Improper Technique: Poor technique in sports or manual work can increase the risk of developing tennis elbow.
- Aging: Tendons naturally weaken with age, making them more susceptible to injury.
- Muscle Imbalance: An imbalance between the forearm muscles and the muscles on the opposite side of the arm can contribute to the condition.
Symptoms:
- Pain: Pain on the outer part of the elbow, often worsening during activities that require gripping or wrist extension.
- Stiffness: Stiffness in the elbow, particularly in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
- Tenderness: Tenderness at the lateral epicondyle, which may radiate down the forearm.
