What is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, is an overuse condition affecting the tendons that connect forearm muscles to the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, it can develop from many repeated activities involving gripping, lifting, or wrist movement - not just playing tennis.

Common signs of tennis elbow

You may have tennis elbow if you notice:

  • Pain or tenderness on the outside of the elbow
  • Discomfort when gripping, lifting, or turning a doorknob
  • Pain that travels from the elbow into the forearm
  • Reduced grip strength or difficulty with familiar activities

Elbow pain can have more than one cause. An evaluation can help determine whether your symptoms may be related to tennis elbow and what next steps make sense.

A Personalized Approach to Elbow pain

Your first visit starts with a conversation about when the pain began, what activities affect it, and how it’s limiting your day. Your provider will assess your symptoms and movement, then discuss a care plan based on your needs.

Depending on your evaluation, care may include chiropractic treatment, soft-tissue therapies, or shockwave therapy. We’ll explain the options and answer your questions before moving forward. Our goal is to help you manage discomfort and work toward returning to the activities that matter to you.

Tennis Elbow FAQs

Do I have to play tennis to get tennis elbow?
No. Repetitive gripping, lifting, and wrist movements can contribute to tennis elbow, even if you’ve never played tennis.

Can tennis elbow go away on its own?
Symptoms can improve, but recovery varies. If elbow pain persists, worsens, or interferes with daily activities, consider getting evaluated by a healthcare professional.

What happens at my first appointment?
