| Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis as it is more appropriatly called is similiar to golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis. These two conditions are most always caused by overuse with un-natural stains the body is not built to handle. Like carpal tunnel or other repetitive stress injuries the ligaments become inflamed causing pain. Chiropractics goal in these conditions is to relieve pain, decrease inflammation so to avoid scarring, and to correct the biomechanical problem through bracing or referring you to a tennis/golf pro which can help correct your swing. Don't ask, no insurance I know of covers the pro (smile). |
