Tennis elbow, medically termed lateral epicondylitis, is a degenerative condition affecting the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, primarily due to repetitive wrist and forearm movements causing microtears and localized inflammation.<\/p>\n

Lateral epicondylitis symptoms and causes involve progressive pain on the outer elbow, reduced grip strength, and discomfort during activities such as lifting or twisting. The condition is commonly associated with repetitive strain, occupational overuse, and improper biomechanics.<\/p>\n

Tennis elbow diagnosis and treatment methods include clinical examination, imaging when necessary, and conservative management such as rest, physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and bracing to reduce tendon load and promote healing.<\/p>\n

Tennis elbow prevention and rehabilitation strategies focus on ergonomic adjustments, strengthening and stretching exercises for forearm muscles, gradual return to activity, and education on proper technique to minimize recurrence and ensure long-term musculoskeletal health.<\/p>\n
