Tennis Elbow
Even if you do not play tennis, you may have tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis, a repetitive strain injury (RSI). This inflammation occurs most frequently in a persons dominant arm during middle life. As its name implies, it is very common among tennis players, especially those with a faulty backhand swing. Forty-five percent of tennis players who play or practice daily will get tennis elbow. This condition also afflicts carpenters, mechanics, office workers, cashiers, maintenance workers, and anyone else who performs repeated hammering, grasping, and rotary forearm motions. Lateral epicondylitis leads to tenderness and pain in the forearm and elbow. When touching the area, it will be painful. However, there usually is no swelling. Expert adjustments by a trained and professional chiropractor can help restore normal range of motion to joints that have become impaired, thereby improving blood circulation and speeding the healing process. A chiropractor can also suggest preventative measures such as using the proper sports equipment or tools, relearning how to perform a physical action, or doing the necessary stretching exercises before a strenuous activity. |
