"How You Can Get Your Tennis Elbow Pain Relieved"

Elbow pain is a very common problem that affects laborers (mechanics, machinists, welders), atheletes, and weight lifters.  Pain in the elbow usually occurs on the lateral or side of the elbow next to a bony prominence call the lateral epicondyle.  This problem occurs due to the following:

• acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, etc),
• accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
• not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia)

Here's what happens:  You injure the tissue intitally--> It heals with scar tissue --> Scar tissue decreases the amount oxygen to your tissues and reduces the ability of the muscle to stretch -->  You tear the tissue again due to lack of flexibility of the scar tissue starting the whole cycle of repair with more scar tissue.

Our goal is reduce the scar tissue in your forearm as quickly as possible and then teach you the necessary stretches and exercises to prevent the problem from returning.  Most tennis elbow conditions resolve in six treatments or less, so it is a quick recovery time for most patients.
