One of the most common issues with the elbow is due to a condition called ‘tennis elbow’.

What is misleading about the term ‘tennis elbow’ is that, often the reason for the pain is not due to tennis or the elbow at all!

The usual pain associated with tennis elbow ranges from an ache to a sharp pain, and primarily is located on the outside of the upper forearm.  Believe it or not, but the reason for this pain can likely be blamed on your wrist!  Very often, individuals with careers or hobbies that involve a lot of wrist usage (painting, using a screw driver, people on the computer often, etc.) suffer from tennis elbow pain.  To be more specific, repetitive activities that involve the wrist going backwards are to be blamed for the pain.

Though different people may have different grades of tennis elbow, it is very common amongst most sufferers to have soreness in the elbow/forearm, difficulty lifting objects, and shooting pain in the forearm.  These issues can really hinder your daily activities!

The team at PHYSIOMED Don Mills have successfully treated many individuals with tennis elbow, and we hope we can do the same for you!

Tennis elbow (or elbow tendinitis) is one of those pesky injuries in the side of your elbow and forearm.  It is a chronic injury that just

doesn’t seem to go away over time.  The funny thing is that it’s not often pro tennis players who have the injury, rather, it’s average people like you and me who get it.

But why, why won’t the elbow pain go away?

Here are some reason’s why your tennis elbow injury isn’t resolving:

• Your work involves a lot of repetitive activities using your elbow and wrist
• You only take pain killers and hope the pain will just go away
• There is underlying scar tissue that needs to be treated
• You don’t have the correct exercises or equipment to help deal with the pain
• You haven’t sought out help from your physio!

Whether you’ve been dealing with elbow tendonitis issues for 1 month or 1 year, book an appointment today with your physiotherapist.  PHYSIOMED Don Mills’ state of the art equipment and expert advice could mean the difference for your pesky elbow!
