Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis); Causes, Symptoms & Best Treatment Options

Treatment

The treatment of tennis elbow varies according to the severity and duration of the illness. Some therapies have been proven to be effective through studies while others are used by doctors based on experience in managing the condition. In general, the basic rules of treatment are:

1. Elbow Supports

Elbow braces, supports and straps provide stability, gentle massage and medical-grade compression to help support and heal the elbow from injury.

Rest and Physiotherapy

Muscles heal on their own in most cases and rest after the injury with a gradual introduction to stretching and mild exercises can help in most cases with no need for medications. It is a slow process, but the upside is that the patient would not be exposed to unnecessary medications or injections. It has also been proven that it is as effective as some injections.
