Tennis elbow is a common condition that causes pain on the outside of the elbow and can make everyday activities such as lifting, gripping, typing and carrying objects uncomfortable.
Despite its name, most people who develop tennis elbow have never played tennis. It commonly affects office workers, tradespeople, gym users, gardeners and anyone who performs repetitive movements with the wrist and forearm.
At Pure Health Osteopath Clinic, we provide tennis elbow treatment in Weston-super-Mare to help reduce pain, improve function and support long-term recovery.
What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis or lateral elbow pain, occurs when the tendons that attach to the outside of the elbow become irritated and painful.
Symptoms often develop gradually and may worsen over time if the underlying cause is not addressed.
