Do you know of any exercises for Tennis Elbow?

Answer 1

i dont but heres a site what does...

Answer 2

I included a link with pics of stretches and strengthening to help with the symptoms. Recognize, if there is no improvement in your pain the issue may be due to nerve entrapment at the elbow or a limitation/restriction in your neck. May need to see a MD/physical therapist.

If this is a result from tennis, recognize factors which can increase force across the elbow with tennis (racket head size, racket stiffness, grip size, and grip force).

Answer 3

Although not founded in clinical research[2] , the tennis player's treatment of choice is frequent icing for inflammation, and taking anti-inflammatory pain-killers, such as ibuprofen. In general the evidence base for intervention measures is poor.[3] A brace might also be recommended by a doctor to reduce the range of movement in the elbow and thus reduce the use and pain

Rest and ice are the treatment of choice. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce pain, and inflammation. Stretches and strengthening exercises are essential to prevent re-irritation of the tendon[4] . Splints may be helpful if the tendon is torn. With physiotherapy, ultrasound can be used to reduce the inflammation. Manual therapy (a form of physiotherapy) is an important part of the treatment; it helps to relieve the muscle spasm and helps to stretch out the tightened tissues.

[edit]
Local steroid injections
Intra-articular glucocorticoid steroid injections can resolve episodes for several months, but there is a risk of later recurrence. Following an injection, the patient normally experiences increased pain over the subsequent day before the steroid starts to settle the condition over the next few days[5] . As with any steroid injection, there is a small risk of local infection and tendon rupture. Most doctors will restrict after two injections giving further courses, as there is less likelihood of effectiveness but increased risk of side-effects.

As opposed to short-term effects[6] , the longterm benefits of local steroid injection are less clearly established.[7]

Surgical intervention
If conservative measures fail, release of the common extensor origin may be helpful.


Alternative treatments
Acupuncture has been proven to be beneficial.[8]

Answer 4

The majority of cases I treat regarding T E are shoulder problems. If you tear a muscle in your shoulder it could lead to "scarred tissue" this lesion then traps the nerve going to your elbow, so all the treatments to the elbow may not work, but a good old heavy shoulder massage can help.... Painting the ceiling is one of the best ways to get T E .... Obviously this is a generalisation, as I would have to see you to suggest a correct treatment....

Answer 5

You need to rest it, not exercise it. "Tennis Elbow" is just another name for tendonitis---inflammation of the tendon. Rest for several days, and take anti-inflammatories (Motrin, Advil,---any ibuprofen medicine) for 3-4 days to reduce the internal swelling and ease the pain.

Answer 6

I hear tennis is quite good.

Answer 7
