Tennis and Golfer's Elbow

Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are common conditions that cause pain around the elbow. They happen when the tendons that attach to the elbow become irritated from repetitive movements, such as gripping, lifting, or twisting. Despite their names, you don’t have to play tennis or golf to develop them—any activity that puts repeated strain on the forearm muscles can lead to this condition. 

If left untreated, the pain can worsen over time, making it harder to carry out daily activities. 

The good news is that with the right treatment and rehabilitation, tennis and golfer's elbow can improve, allowing you to get back to your normal routine pain-free.
