Tennis Elbow
Can anyone help me with my tennis elbow problem?
I have a pain in my elbow, I’m pretty sure it’s a condition called tennis elbow. I saw my doctor at my check-up and told him about it. He asked if I was icing it and I said “yes.” He didn’t really say anything else about it. I had this problem twice in the past but it didn’t last long both times. This time it seems like it’s here to stay. Does anyone know any exercises or anything that will help it heal without me decreasing my physical activity? I’ve already looked in Wikipedia and read over that page. Thanks a lot.
First of all a chiropractor will do nothing for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). A couple things you need to focus on:
-gentle stretching of your wrist extensors (hold your arm straight out in front of you palm down, elbow straight, and bend your hand down using pressure from the other hand on the back of the hand on the injured side…hold 30 seconds)
-ice massage (fill a paper cup up with water and freeze it, then peel back part of the cup to expose some ice and rub the ice on the painful area for 4-5 mins until numb…its gonna be uncomfortable, but must get to be numb)
-over the counter anti-inflammatory such as advil, aleve taken as directed on the bottle
-physical therapy can help you build up the strength in the wrist muscles, especially the eccentric strength.
-tennis elbow strap that can be purchased online to stabilize the area and take the stress off the tendon origin.

Fixing You: Shoulder & Elbow Pain $13.03 Fixing You: Shoulder & Elbow Pain highlights the shoulder blade as the primary culprit in shoulder and elbow problems. If the shoulder blade does not move properly, adverse stress is placed on the shoulder joint because the upper arm bone will not rest or move well either. Fixing You: Shoulder & Elbow Pain teaches you why this occurs and how to fix it. Problems with shoulder blade function, by extension, establish the environment for elbow injuries such as tennis elbow or golfers elbow. For this reason, to fix chronic elbow pain, problems must be addressed at both the shoulder and elbow. Fixing pain in the shoulder and elbow is much like fixing pain anywhere in the body. You must understand which muscles and joints are not working well and grasp how those problems feed poor movement habits which then reinforce the original poor muscle and joint function. This creates a cycle of pain. Visit www.FixingYou.net to learn more. |
