How can chiropractic help with Tennis Elbow?

What is Tennis Elbow?


"Tennis elbow" or what may be referred to as "lateral epicondylitis" is caused by misuse or overuse of the forearm muscles. This is too much for these muscles to handle and it leads to pain and inflammation.  It normally results in pain on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle). It is common with tennis players but anyone can have this problem.


When can you tell if you have Tennis Elbow?

  1. Pain on the outside of the elbow
  2. Pain occurs when shaking hands or gripping objects
  3. Pain with twisting with force, opening jars, even using a toothbrush or holding a knife or fork may cause pain.

Proper function is key to help you prevent chronic problems with your elbow. Chiropractors can help alleviate this pain and dysfunction in the body without drugs, cortisone shots or surgery! 

We can diagnose this problem using orthopedic tests and by studying the way your arm moves and functions. We perform soft tissue work, muscle and bone alignment to make sure your arm is operating properly. After your pain is gone, we will incorporate exercises in your treatment to prevent further tearing and stress on the joint and teach you proper body movement. 

If you think you may have tennis elbow, chiropractic can help. Dr. Amie B. Gregory. DC, CCEP, ANF at Precise Moves Chiropractic has been helping athletes and non-athletes with extremity care for over 14 years.  She is a  Sports and Extremity Chiropractor.
