TIP: Turn Your Phone On Its Side For A Better Viewing Experience!
The term 'Tennis elbow' is used to describe pain found on the outer part of the elbow and the upper part of the forearm.
The pain is due to inflammation of the tendon and bony protuberance at the outer part of the elbow, the lateral epicondyle.
The problem is not there because of a problem with the elbow. It is an overuse injury to a tendon that inserts on the outside of the elbow called the common extensor tendon, which is part of the muscles that bends the wrist into extension.

It is an overuse injury cused by repetitive, forceful movements at the wrist, which bring the knuckles upwards or when you resist that movement. For example, hitting a back hand shot in racket sports or playing golf.
This causes the attachment of the muscles at the outer part of the elbow to be placed under considerable tension and may cause a tear in the muscle or tendon.
1st Part Of The Treatment
2nd Part Of The Treatment
Most tennis elbow injuries occur either at the beginning of a game of tennis (as a result of poor warm up techniques) or at the end of a game (when you are fatigued).
Always warm up and stretch muscles before exercising and cool down.
Another important part of injury prevention should also include a review of your technique and equipment used in sports and office environment.
If you have a neck problem predisposing you to have a tennis elbow, it would make sense to have chiropractic care based on the Chiropractor's recommendations.
