Tennis Elbow: Homeopathic Approach

Causes and Risk Factors:

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition that occurs when tendons in your elbow are overloaded, usually by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm. Despite its name, athletes aren’t the only people who develop tennis elbow. People whose jobs feature the types of motions that can lead to tennis elbow include plumbers, painters, carpenters, butchers and even housewives.

• Any activity that strains the muscles around your elbow over and over again can cause tennis elbow.
• Tennis elbow affects up to 3% of people, mostly between the ages of 30 and 50.
• You can get tennis elbow from playing other racquet sports, such as squash or racquetball.

Symptoms:

The most common symptom of tennis elbow is recurring pain on the outside of the upper forearm, just below the bend of the elbow. Pain may also be felt further down the arm, towards the wrist. Tennis elbow can cause pain when twisting the forearm.

What happens if a tennis elbow goes untreated?

If the tennis elbow is not treated in time or the activity is continued, it can lead to permanent damage to joint movement and complete retirement from that sport.
