Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis as it is more appropriately called is similar to golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis. These two conditions are most always caused by overuse or un-natural straining that the body is not built to handle. Like carpal tunnel or other repetitive stress injuries, the ligaments become inflamed causing dysfunction and pain. The chiropractic goal in these conditions is to correct the biomechanics whereby relieving pain, decreasing inflammation, and resetting the muscle matrix to avoid scarring.
