Cure Tennis Elbow?

Answer 3

There is no quick solution to cure tennis elbow, but the following suggestions might help. 1) If you have access to a decent coach, have the coach check your mechanics to see if any of your FH, BH, etc motions exacerbates tennis elbow. 2) Change your strings. Some strings offer more durability while sacrificing comfort and vice versa. The more durable strings may leave you more susceptible to tennis elbow. You might have to go to a tennis shop for suggestions. 3) Change your racquet. Racquet weight and head weight in general will have an effect on tennis elbow. You might have to switch to a more head light racquet or lighter racquet in general. The stiffness of the racquet will also have an effect. 4) As suggested above, a tennis elbow support may help. It may limit your range of motions though. 5) Rest. Rest will help you recover from any tears in the ligament. You also have to consider forgoing tennis training for a period of time and allow your body to recover. You might have to consider pulling out of the tournament. 6) Stop/Reduce tennis training to strengthen your arms, especially the bicep and tricep areas. These areas usually have an effect on tennis elbow. 7) Go to a physician. Worst case scenario, you might have to get an MRI to check for significant ligament damage and undergo surgery. Otherwise, it is possible that the physician will suggest rest along with the use of ice and heat pads.

Tennis elbow can be lots of different thing, the easiest way to get T.E is by painting the ceiling, the reason is that when you paint the ceiling it causes muscles in your shoulder to go into spasm. The nerves which go to your elbow come out of the neck, under this muscle then down to your elbow. Therefore the nerve can get trapped under the muscle in your shoulder. as this nerve goes to your elbow your brain thinks it's an elbow problem. That's why some treatments to the elbow wont work. A good neck and shoulder massage can help... There are more ways of getting T.E though as I said, I would seek out a Physio or Sports Therapist like myself..

Answer 5

Granted, during the industrial age, the number of work accidents rose and occupational illnesses among factory workers increased. Nevertheless, medical literature covering that period makes mention of RSI cases only among specific groups. For instance, 19th-century pianists and violinists suffered from tendinitis in the upper arms, and tennis players contracted tennis elbow, or inflammation of the tendons in the elbow.
Yet, it must be admitted, every method of trying to stay fit has its potential dangers. Some medicines, whether chemical or natural, may cause undesirable side effects, even when properly administered. Ill-advised diets can lead to unbalanced nourishment. And too much exercise, or the wrong kind, can cause tennis elbow, jogger’s ankles, or aerobic back—not to mention the time wasted.

Answer 7

Stop playing tennis?

Answer 8

he best way to relieve tennis elbow is to stop doing anything that irritates your arm — a simple step for the weekend tennis player, but not as easy for the manual laborer, office worker, or professional athlete.

The most effective conventional and alternative treatments for tennis elbow have the same basic premise: Rest the arm until the pain disappears, then massage to relieve stress and tension in the muscles, and exercise to strengthen the area and prevent re-injury. If you must go back to whatever caused the problem in the first place, be sure to warm up your arm for at least 5 to 10 minutes with gentle stretching and movement before starting any activity. Take frequent breaks.

Conventional medicine offers an assortment of treatments for tennis elbow, from drug injections to surgery, but the pain will never go away completely unless you stop stressing the joint. Re-injury is inevitable without adequate rest.

For most mild to moderate cases of tennis elbow, aspirin or ibuprofen will help address the inflammation and the pain while you are resting the injury, and then you can follow up with exercise and massage to speed healing.

For stubborn cases of tennis elbow your doctor may advise corticosteroid injections, which dramatically reduce inflammation, but they cannot be used long-term because of potentially damaging side effects.

Another attractive option for many sufferers, especially those who prefer to not ingest medication orally, is the application of an appropriate and effective topical anti-inflammatory. CT Cream with A.C.P. was specifically designed to reduce inflammation and does so by taking advantage of well known elements Arnica, Choline, Pyridoxine and Vitamin B6. Researched, formulated and introduced recently by Dr. Ying Lee, CT Cream has proven to be extremely successful in treating inflammation related ailments such as epicondylitis, tendonitis, bursitis & carpal tunnel syndrome.

If rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and a stretching routine fail to cure your tennis elbow, you may have to consider surgery, though this form of treatment is rare (fewer than 3 percent of patients). One procedure is for the tendon to be cut loose from the epicondyle, the rounded bump at the end of the bone, which eliminates stress on the tendon but renders the muscle useless. Another surgical technique involves removing so-called granulated tissue in the tendon and repairing tears.

Even after you feel you have overcome a case of tennis elbow, be sure to continue babying your arm. Always warm up your arm for 5 to 10 minutes before starting any activity involving your elbow. And if you develop severe pain after use anyway, pack your arm in ice for 15 to 20 minutes and call your doctor.

Prevention

To prevent tennis elbow:

* Lift objects with your palm facing your body.
* Try strengthening exercises with hand weights. With your elbow cocked and your palm down, repeatedly bend your wrist. Stop if you feel any pain.
* Stretch relevant muscles before beginning a possibly stressful activity by grasping the top part of your fingers and gently but firmly pulling them back toward your body. Keep your arm fully extended and your palm facing outward.

Caution!

To prevent a relapse:

* Discontinue or modify the action that is causing the strain on your elbow joint. If you must continue, be sure to warm up for 10 minutes or more before any activity involving your arm, and apply ice to it afterward. Take more frequent breaks.
* Try strapping a band around your forearm just below your elbow. If the support seems to help you lift objects such as heavy books, then continue with it. Be aware that such bands can cut off circulation and impede healing, so they are best used once tennis elbow has disappeared.

Rest it. Repeating the movements will only aggravate the injury.
