How to Prevent and Treat Tennis Elbow


The recipient of a bachelor's in sports communication/psychology from Marist College, Max Edelsack is pursuing a career as a sports broadcaster. In addition to following major sports leagues, Max Edelsack enjoys playing tennis.

Playing tennis can be a rigorous and rewarding workout, but you can also sustain injury if you're not careful. One of the more common tennis-related injuries is lateral epicondylitis (more commonly known as tennis elbow), which is the inflammation of the tendons joining the forearm muscles outside of the elbow. It's generally brought about by repeated swinging motions in tennis, but it can also be caused by overuse in other activities. Painters, carpenters, auto workers, and even butchers have been known to develop tennis elbow. Symptoms include a tenderness or burning sensation on the outer part of the elbow as well as a weak grip strength.

Fortunately, the majority of tennis elbow cases are treated with a combination of rest, anti-inflammatory medicines, and physical therapy. Other treatment options include cortisone shots, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and use of an arm brace. To help prevent injury, make sure you warm up and cool down before and after playing tennis. You can also employ proper grip technique and wear a supportive brace.
