Understanding Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by discomfort and sensitivity on the outer side of the elbow. It typically develops due to repetitive strain on the forearm muscles and tendons, leading to inflammation and small tears in the tendons connected to the outer elbow.
Causes of Tennis Elbow
Factors that contribute to tennis elbow include:
- Repetitive movements of the wrist and arm.
- Excessive use of forearm muscles.
- Activities involving gripping or lifting objects.
Identifying these causes is crucial for preventing tennis elbow and devising effective treatment plans.
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow
Common symptoms may include:
- Discomfort and sensitivity on the outer side of the elbow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tennis Elbow Treatment in Ottawa
Is Tennis Elbow Preventable?
Preventing tennis elbow involves making ergonomic adjustments and modifying activities that strain the forearm muscles. This includes taking breaks from repetitive tasks, using proper techniques and equipment during physical activities, and doing exercises to strengthen forearm muscles. Early intervention upon noticing symptoms can significantly reduce the risk of severe tennis elbow.
How Long Does Recovery from Tennis Elbow Take?
The recovery time for tennis elbow varies based on the condition’s severity and the individual’s response to treatment. Most people experience substantial improvement within a few weeks to months of starting treatment. However, complete recovery, especially for severe cases, may take longer. Adhering to the prescribed treatment plan, including physiotherapy exercises and lifestyle changes, is vital for effective recovery.
What Lifestyle Changes Can Help Manage Tennis Elbow?
Implementing lifestyle changes is crucial in managing and preventing tennis elbow. This includes practicing proper body mechanics during activities involving the arm and wrist, making ergonomic adjustments at work and home to reduce forearm muscle strain, and engaging in regular arm, wrist, and shoulder stretching and strengthening exercises to enhance muscle endurance and flexibility, potentially lowering the risk of recurrence.
Can Tennis Elbow Recur After Treatment?
Yes, tennis elbow can recur, especially if the initial causes such as repetitive strain or overuse of forearm muscles are not adequately addressed. To minimize the risk of recurrence, it’s essential to continue implementing ergonomic adjustments, lifestyle changes, and forearm strengthening exercises even after symptoms have resolved. Regularly assessing and modifying work and leisure activities to avoid excessive strain can also help prevent recurrence.
