Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis - Tennis Elbow Treatment, Exercise and Cure for Tennis Elbow

Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis is the inflammation of muscles, tendons, bursa, or covering to bones (periosteum) at the elbow.

Places where Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis occurs

Elbow muscles, tendons and one or both of the epicondyles (bony prominences on the sides of the elbow where muscles of the forearm attach to the bone of the upper arm).

Causes, Signs and Symptoms of Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis

Partial tear of the tendon and attached covering of the bone caused by: Chronic stress on the tissues that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow area. Sudden stress on the forearm. Wrist snap when serving balls in racket sports. Incorrect grip. Incorrect hitting position. Using a racket or club that is too heavy. Using an oversize grip.

Pain and tenderness over the epicondyles. Pain worsens with gripping or rotation of the forearm.
Weak grip.
Pain when twisting the hand and arm, as when playing tennis, throwing a ball with a twist, bowling, golfing, pushing off while skiing or using a screwdriver.

Complications in Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis

Complete ligament tear, requiring surgery to repair. Slow healing. Frequent recurrences.

Treatment, Medication and Care for Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation. Injections of anesthetics to temporarily relieve pain. Injections of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. CAUTION: Repeated injections may weaken the muscle tendon.

Use heat to relieve pain. Use warm soaks, a heating pad or a heat lamp. You may receive diathermy or ultrasound, whirlpool or massage treatments in your doctor's office or a physical-therapy facility. These may bring quicker symptom relief and healing.
You may need to wear a forearm splint to immobilize the elbow.

Dietary Cure for Elbow Tendinitis Epicondylitis

During recovery, eat a well-balanced diet that includes extra protein, such as meat, fish, poultry, cheese, milk and eggs.

Fitness Tip

Both heart and lungs benefit from regular exercise, which strengthens the heart and helps reduce blood pressure.

Beauty Tip

Nails are formed from keratin, the tough protein that also makes up hair and skin. They grow from the matrix, which lies beneath a fold of skin (the cuticle). The growing nail slides forward over the nail-bed, an area rich in blood vessels.
