What is Tennis Elbow Treatment?
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, results from irritation or microtearing of the attached tendons to the lateral or outer part of the elbow. This group of tendons aids in stabilizing the wrist and forearm during gripping, lifting, and repetitive movements. However, if these tendons are subjected to more stress than they can handle, whether due to overuse, strain, or diminished resistance of their tissues, inflammation and pain set in.
A regenerative approach acknowledges that tennis elbow is not just a local problem of the tendon. This condition encompasses inflammation, circulation impairment, mitochondrial fatigue, biomechanical imbalances, and sometimes systemic inflammation, each of which delays recovery. Treatment approaches restore tendon strength, enhance cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and optimize movement patterns.
