Tennis Elbow (or lateral epicondylitis) isn’t just for athletes. In fact, it’s more common in office workers, tradespeople, gymgoers, and busy parents than on the tennis court. It’s caused by repetitive strain on the forearm muscles and tendons — often from everyday overuse.
At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we see this injury all the time. The pain might start small but can quickly interfere with simple tasks like lifting a kettle, opening doors, or even typing. If that sounds like you, it’s time to take it seriously — and we’re here to help.
What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis Elbow is an overuse injury that causes pain and inflammation on the outside of the elbow, where the forearm tendons attach. Despite the name, it's not just a “sports injury.” It's often triggered by:
- Repetitive wrist and arm movements (typing, mouse use, tools)
- Poor technique during lifting or exercise
- Prolonged gripping (carrying bags, holding a phone, gardening)
- Strain from DIY or manual work
Over time, tiny tears form in the tendons, leading to pain, weakness, and reduced function.
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow
If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may have Tennis Elbow:
- Pain or burning on the outer part of the elbow
- Weak grip strength
- Discomfort when lifting, gripping, or twisting the forearm
- Stiffness in the elbow, especially in the morning
- Pain that worsens with repetitive tasks
These symptoms can come and go, or become constant if left untreated.
How We Help at Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic
We don’t just offer generic rest and ice packs. Our care is tailored to your body, your lifestyle, and how you use your arms every day.
Treatment may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to correct posture and relieve pressure on the elbow joint
- Manual therapy to release tension in the forearm muscles and tendons
- Physiotherapy exercises to restore strength and reduce the risk of recurrence
- Dry needling or soft tissue release for pain relief and healing
- Activity modifications to help you heal without giving up your routine
Why Combine Chiropractic and Physiotherapy?
Tennis Elbow isn’t just a local problem — it often stems from biomechanical issues in the neck, shoulder, or wrist. That’s why we approach it from multiple angles:
- Chiropractic care restores joint movement and reduces nerve irritation
- Physiotherapy builds muscular resilience and improves tendon healing
Together, they get to the root of the problem, not just the pain.
