Santa Monica tennis elbow, the layman’s term for Lateral Epicondylitis, is the most prevalent illness of the upper body.
But tennis elbow is not unique to tennis players only. When the muscles of the forearm (wrist extensor group) are placed under enormous strain, tennis elbow can result. And this is a frequent occurrence among tennis players, manual laborers, carpenters, secretaries and other such jobs. So any activity which requires repetitive wrist extension is intrinsically what causes tennis elbow, according to Dr. Raymond Hall DC. 90% of patients with tennis elbow will feel the focus of their pain at the tendo periosteal junction where the common extensor tendon arises from (the outer region of the elbow). Other symptoms of tennis elbow include radiating pain to the back of the forearm and wrist area; some patients may have this.
CA tennis elbow can be a challenge because it needs lengthy treatment course due to the lack of a tendon sheath. The common extensor origin resembles a muscle more than a tendon, but its blood supply is not adequate and thus, it cannot get nutrition from the fluid that is found within a tendon sheath.
Your Chiropractor at Santa Monica Chiropractic will do the following processes, in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis of the extent of your tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): history and examination, neurological and orthopaedic tests. With the findings, they will develop a custom plan of management just for your case.
