What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis Elbow (or Lateral Epicondylitis) is a condition that occurs when the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific strain, overuse or a direct injury.
Symptoms
Movements of the elbow and those involve lifting, when the hand is on top, are painful.
Causes
Although called Tennis Elbow, Lateral Epicondylitis is much more commonly seen in people who are over using their arm and elbow joint in a variety of activities. This pain could equally well be called "plasterer's elbow" or "mechanic's elbow" or "painter's elbow." When strain and overuse are involved, pain can follow.
The most common cause is over use of the muscles which are attached to the bone at this part of the elbow -- in particular the muscles which pull the hand backwards (the wrist extensors). All the extensor muscles of the hand attach to the elbow at the outer part (the lateral epicondyle). If they are strained or overused, they may become inflamed.
Treatment
Using the Epicon-D will help prevent pain typically associated with Tennis Elbow. This advanced technology support prvoides necessary tension on the area while discouraging over-extension. Resting or avoiding activities, which over use the elbow, are also recommended. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
