MORE ABOUT Dr. Moustafa AlAliTennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow. While often associated with sports, it can affect anyone whose daily activities involve repetitive wrist or arm movements. The pain can interfere with work, exercise, and simple tasks like lifting or gripping objects. At Grand European Clinic, we offer advanced, personalized tennis elbow treatments designed to reduce pain, restore strength, and support long-term elbow function.
Book an appointmentUnderstanding Tennis Elbow And Why It Happens
Tennis elbow occurs when repetitive stress causes small tears in the forearm tendons that attach to the elbow joint. Although athletes are more prone to it, the condition is widespread among office workers, manual laborers, and individuals who engage in repetitive motions. Common causes include:
- Frequent gripping or lifting
- Repetitive twisting of the forearm
- Prolonged computer or mouse use
- Racquet sports
- Poor wrist posture during activities
- Sudden increase in physical activity
Because the affected tendons weaken over time, pain gradually intensifies if left untreated.
Symptoms That Indicate You May Have Tennis Elbow
Recognizing early signs can prevent the condition from becoming chronic. Typical symptoms include:
- Pain on the outer side of the elbow
- Weak grip strength
- Discomfort when lifting or carrying objects
- Pain that radiates into the forearm or wrist
- Stiffness in the elbow, especially in the morning
- Difficulty performing tasks such as opening jars or typing
If these symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, professional assessment is recommended.
Diagnosing Tennis Elbow: What To Expect During Evaluation
A thorough diagnosis is essential for creating an effective treatment plan. During your consultation at Grand European Clinic, the specialist will:
Review Medical and Activity History: Understanding your daily habits and physical activities helps identify the underlying cause.
Conduct a Physical Examination: This includes assessing elbow movement, pressure sensitivity, and muscle strength.
Recommend Imaging if Needed: X-rays or ultrasound may be used to rule out fractures, arthritis, or additional tendon issues.
This multi-step evaluation ensures accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.
