Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow. It is typically caused by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm, leading to small tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (bony bump on the outer side of the elbow). Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and difficulty with gripping or lifting objects. Treatment for tennis elbow typically involves rest, pain management techniques, physical therapy exercises to strengthen the forearm muscles, improve flexibility, and promote healing.
