Tennis Elbow, medically known as Lateral Epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse or strain of the forearm tendons that attach to the outer side of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis elbow commonly affects people who perform repetitive hand and wrist activities, including office workers, manual laborers, and fitness enthusiasts.
Under the expert care of Dr. Dnyaneshwar, an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore, tennis elbow is treated with a structured, patient-centric approach aimed at relieving pain, restoring strength, and preventing recurrence.
Tennis elbow develops due to:
Repetitive wrist and forearm movements
Overuse of gripping muscles
Poor technique in sports or physical work
Sudden increase in activity level
Occupations involving repetitive arm use
Inadequate rest between activities
Over time, these factors lead to tendon inflammation and degeneration.
Common symptoms include:
Pain or burning sensation on the outer elbow
Tenderness over the elbow bone
Weak grip strength
Pain while lifting, gripping, or twisting objects
Discomfort during typing or household work
Gradual worsening of pain with activity
Early symptoms may worsen if left untreated.
Consult Dr. Dnyaneshwar if:
Elbow pain persists for more than two weeks
Pain interferes with work or daily activities
Grip strength is reduced
Home remedies and rest do not provide relief
Pain continues to worsen with activity
Early medical care prevents chronic tendon damage.
Diagnosis is primarily clinical and includes:
Detailed elbow examination
Assessment of pain during resisted wrist movements
Evaluation of grip strength
X-rays to rule out arthritis or bone problems
Ultrasound or MRI in persistent cases
Accurate diagnosis ensures targeted treatment.
Most patients improve with conservative care:
Rest and activity modification
Anti-inflammatory medications
Physiotherapy and eccentric strengthening exercises
Elbow braces or straps
Ice therapy for pain relief
PRP injections or corticosteroid injections in selected cases
Surgery is rarely required and is considered only when:
Symptoms persist beyond 6–12 months
Conservative treatment fails to provide relief
Chronic tendon degeneration is confirmed
Minimally invasive procedures are used for faster recovery.
Faster pain relief
Restoration of grip strength
Prevention of chronic elbow pain
Improved work and sports performance
Reduced risk of recurrence
Recovery focuses on:
Gradual return to activity
Strengthening forearm muscles
Ergonomic and technique correction
Use of supportive braces when needed
Stretching and conditioning programs
Lifestyle modifications to reduce strain
With proper care, most patients recover fully.
