What Is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow is an irritation of the tendons that attach to the outer part of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive strain or sustained gripping movements.
Common causes include:
- Racket sports (e.g. tennis, padel)
- Repetitive lifting or DIY
- Prolonged mouse/keyboard use
- Manual work or weight training
The pain often builds gradually and can become constant if not treated early.
How We Treat Tennis Elbow at MDOsteo
Every case of tennis elbow is different. Some patients are active gym-goers; others sit at a desk all day. That’s why your treatment at MDOsteo starts with a detailed assessment to determine the cause and stage of your condition.
1. Osteopathy
Osteopathic treatment helps reduce tension in the forearm muscles, improve joint mobility, and offload the affected tendon. We also address contributing areas like the neck, shoulder, and wrist.
2. Shockwave Therapy
If pain is long-standing or not improving, shockwave therapy can be used to stimulate healing in the tendon tissue. This non-invasive treatment is particularly effective in chronic cases.
3. Postural & Functional Assessment
Poor biomechanics—at work or during sport—can place excess strain on the elbow. We assess how you move and work to help correct the cause, not just the symptoms.
