Tennis Elbow in Levittown

Understanding Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Tennis Elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that causes pain on the outside of your elbow. Despite the name, it can affect anyone — not just tennis players. The pain is typically caused by overuse or repetitive strain of the forearm muscles and tendons, leading to inflammation and discomfort that can make simple daily activities, like gripping a cup or turning a doorknob, difficult.

If left untreated, Tennis Elbow can become a persistent problem, limiting your ability to work, enjoy hobbies, or play sports.

Common Causes of Tennis Elbow

• Repetitive wrist or arm motions
• Gripping objects for long periods
• Overuse from activities like tennis, painting, typing, or carpentry
• Improper lifting techniques
• Gradual wear and tear over time

Signs and Symptoms

You may have Tennis Elbow if you notice:

• Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow
• Weak grip strength
• Discomfort when shaking hands or holding objects
• Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest
• Stiffness in the elbow joint, especially in the morning
