Find Relief for Tennis & Golfer's Elbow at Stoke-on-Trent & Congleton’s Top Physiotherapy Clinic
Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow
Symptoms
At Browns Physiotherapy And Wellness, we understand the nagging frustration that comes with tennis and golfer’s elbow. Whether it’s a never ending dull ache, a sharp pain when you lift the milk out of the fridge, or weakness in your forearm, we’re here to provide relief. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, and golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, are both overuse injuries that can result from repetitive movements using the muscles and tendons of the elbow.
Causes
Tennis elbow and Golfer’s elbow are typically caused by repetitive strain on the muscles and tendons of the forearm, particularly those that attach to the inside and outside bones of the elbow, respectively. Activities that involve gripping, twisting, or lifting can lead to small tears in the tendons, resulting in pain and inflammation. In addition to sports-related activities like tennis or golf, these conditions can also occur as a result of repetitive tasks at work or hobbies that involve repetitive arm movements.
At Browns Physiotherapy And Wellness, we’re committed to identifying the underlying cause of your elbow pain and addressing any contributing factors. By understanding the root of your discomfort, we can develop a targeted treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and prevent future recurrences.
Treatment
Our approach to treating tennis and golfer’s elbow includes a variety of techniques aimed at reducing pain, inflammation, and restoring function to the affected arm.
First, we provide hands-on therapy to alleviate muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and reduce pain. This may include techniques such as manual therapy, soft tissue massage, or joint mobilisation to target specific areas of tightness and discomfort. In addition to traditional therapy methods, we also offer shockwave therapy as a treatment option for tennis and golfer’s elbow. Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing pain and inflammation.
Next, we focus on strengthening and stretching exercises to improve muscle balance and flexibility in the forearm and elbow. These exercises are designed to promote healing, reduce the risk of future injury, and enhance your overall arm function.
At Browns Physiotherapy And Wellness, we’re dedicated to helping you overcome tennisand golfer’s elbow and get back to doing the activities you love. Don’t let elbow pain hold you back – let’s work together to restore your comfort and mobility.
