Tennis Elbow
This condition is marked by the presence of pain on the outside
of the elbow when gripping or lifting any item, such as a carton
of milk, or even shaking hands.
Doctor's Treatment Plan
Acute:
When the injury is acute (it just happened), it is easier to treat. Treatment consists of reducing swelling through electrical stimulation, then fitting the patient with a sports brace, and prescribing a regimen of exercise and muscular re-education.
Chronic:
In the case of an ongoing chronic aggravation (more than 2 months), the treatment is more difficult, more extensive, and if left untreated, may result in surgery. |
