Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow

Are you experiencing persistent pain on the outside of your elbow when gripping, lifting, or shaking hands? This could be Tennis Elbow. Or perhaps you feel pain on the inside of your elbow when swinging, lifting, or making a fist? This often points to Golfer's Elbow. These conditions can be incredibly frustrating, impacting your ability to work, participate in sports, or even perform simple daily tasks.

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we understand the specific challenges posed by Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow. Our expert team of physiotherapists specializes in comprehensive, non-surgical elbow pain treatment, focusing on accurately diagnosing these conditions and guiding you towards lasting relief and restored arm function.

Who Suffers from Tennis & Golfer's Elbow? Do You Need Help?

Despite their names, you don't have to play tennis or golf to develop these conditions! They are typically overuse injuries resulting from repetitive wrist and arm movements. You might be suffering from Tennis or Golfer's Elbow if you are:

• Athletes: Especially those in racket sports (tennis, badminton), golf, or throwing sports.

• Manual Laborers: Plumbers, carpenters, painters, butchers, or anyone using tools repetitively.

• Office Workers: Engaging in extensive typing or mouse use with poor ergonomics.

• Musicians: Particularly guitarists or violinists.

• Homemakers: Performing repetitive tasks like cleaning, cooking, or gardening.

• Anyone with a New, Repetitive Activity: Suddenly starting a new hobby or task that overworks your forearm muscles.

If you have persistent elbow pain that worsens with grip or arm movements, feels tender to touch, or makes it hard to use your hand and arm, it's a clear sign that professional help is needed. Don't let these conditions limit your life – we are here to offer effective solutions.

Understanding Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow: Causes and Conditions

Both Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) and Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) are forms of tendinopathy, meaning they involve issues with the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to the bony prominences of your elbow.

• Tennis Elbow (Pain on the Outside of the Elbow):

• Cause: This occurs when the tendons on the outer side of your elbow, primarily responsible for extending your wrist and fingers, become inflamed or develop tiny tears due to overuse.

• Activities Affected: Often worsened by gripping, lifting, carrying, typing, shaking hands, or using a screwdriver.

• Golfer's Elbow (Pain on the Inside of the Elbow):

• Cause: This involves the tendons on the inner side of your elbow, which are responsible for flexing your wrist and fingers and rotating your forearm. Overuse leads to inflammation or damage in these tendons.

• Activities Affected: Typically worsened by gripping tightly, swinging (e.g., a golf club), lifting, or performing repetitive wrist flexion.

Both conditions are typically overuse injuries, where repeated stress on the forearm muscles and tendons overwhelms their ability to repair themselves, leading to pain and weakness.

How We Help: Specialized Therapies for Tennis & Golfer's Elbow

Our expert physiotherapists utilize a range of proven techniques and modalities specifically effective for these common elbow conditions:

• Shockwave Therapy: This is a highly effective treatment for chronic Tennis and Golfer's Elbow. It delivers focused sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response, break down scar tissue, and reduce pain directly at the affected tendon.

• Ultrasound and Laser Therapy: Advanced technologies that promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate deep-seated pain in the affected tendons and surrounding tissues. Laser therapy, in particular, accelerates cellular repair.

• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to release tight forearm muscles, improve joint mobility in the elbow and wrist, and reduce direct pain and tension in the affected tendons.

• Muscle Stimulation: To gently activate and strengthen the weakened forearm muscles, improving their endurance and ability to withstand daily stresses.

• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): A gentle electrical therapy used to provide effective pain relief during flare-ups and throughout your recovery.

• Therapeutic Exercises: Customized stretching and strengthening exercises specifically designed to improve flexibility of the forearm muscles, strengthen the affected tendons, and gradually build their tolerance to activity.

• Activity Modification & Ergonomic Advice: Guidance on adjusting your grip, technique during sports or work, and modifying your workspace or tools to reduce strain on the affected tendons and prevent re-injury.
